I think that Apple is concerned about class action lawsuits that will target Tim Cooks claims that not even apple can access customer data. They are really in a terrible position. No CEO wants to do interviews dedicated to a conflict with law enforcement. This is about a massive pile of unaccessable cash and the threat of a major lawsuit. It makes sense that cook wants to invest in legislators who will listen to their lobbying cash and provide class action protection over gambling in the courts.
