Relevant known financial information, sure. But that's a small, well-defined subset of Uber's corporate footprint.
What if the warrant was looking for memos on illegally circumventing local parking laws? Memos that may or may not exist?
If Uber hosts that Canadian-focused data on servers outside of Canadian jurisdiction, good luck getting ahold of it unless the government's willing to play the "We'll bankrupt you unless you give us something" card.
And my point is that kind of international leverage isn't available to, say, a suburb outside of Toledo. Which effectively means a company willing to play hardball with encryption (at great legal risk if they slip up) can have their cake (illegal corporate policies) and eat it too (not be held liable for illegal policies).
