The "650 unopened devices" bit stood out to me also. He's very clearly saying that this is not about finding criminality, it's about punishing criminality. Inaccessible devices might might reveal a different crime than is being prosecuted, they might reveal something legal but embarrassing, they might even clear a suspect who's refusing to share a password on conscience (or has honestly forgotten it). It would have been very easy to pitch this as "making prosecutions more accurate", and it's rather telling that only one side of that was addressed.
