Yes but the criteria for a warrant can be nothing more than reasonable suspicion. So a warrant could be issued for access to someone’s entire device regardless of whether objectionable content exists on it or not. Theoretically, a government could issue a warrant for every single person’s phone and get what they want. This prevents anything even close to that from happening because users aren’t required to provide the keys and Apple won’t have them unless that content matches what’s on the list.
On your second point, yes… that’s a very real possibility and one that I’m sure Apple has already considered and has responded to.

For that you'd need a sham court full of rubber stamping judges handing out bogus search warrants for every single questionable and illegal request that comes to them. That seems a stretch of the imagination? What judge would to _that?_ We could call that the FISA Court, right?
