There's a certain group of people who seem determined to see some Machiavellian motives behind Apple defending the security of its (and everybody's) encryption.

There's a certain group of people who seem determined to see some Machiavellian motives behind Apple defending the security of its (and everybody's) encryption. It's not just about making money. It's not just a marketing pitch. It's not just because it's technically stupid to do what the FBI wants. It's not purely driven by Apple's concern for its customers. It's all of those things at once. Everyone in the industry thinks the FBI is being boneheaded. The current and former heads of the NSA think the FBI is being boneheaded. Google, Microsoft, and Amazon. You don't need to look behind the obvious motives for something underhanded. It's. freaking. obvious.
