That's not what is happening. Please look some of this stuff up before assuming the worst. Apple does not have the ability to decrypt the device, nor do users depend on Apple to unlock the device. Users can choose to enable Activation Lock, which means that only the owner or Apple can allow someone else to erase the device and set it up from scratch. Users can disable Activation Lock at any time. The only time that users can't disable it is if they forget their iCloud credentials. That's when they have to go to an Apple store and prove that they own the device.
