I think that's exactly what happened, but the judge is severely underestimating the kind of data on their phone. Frankly, I really wish that when judges rule something "reasonable" that they are then immediately subjected to whatever they've deemed reasonable by some civil rights group (the ACLU is an obvious one).
I think this would get reversed in a heartbeat if the ACLU could roleplay CBP and demonstrate just how much you can get leverage on people using the contents of their phone.
I don't think it's malicious, just ignorant.
