An encryption scheme should not be weakenable after the physical medium has been compromised. An encryption scheme is purely a feature of the data, not of the device. An encryption scheme should only be susceptible to brute force attacks and Apple is not being asked to perform a brute force attack, but rather, to deactivate their kill switch. If you read the order, the software to deactivate the kill switch is only supposed to work with one particular iPhone and Apple is under no obligation to deliver that software to anyone; they are only required to provide access to the device without fear of the kill switch.
