When the FBI does knock with a warrant they already get access to data on iCloud. iCloud is not meaningfully encrypted to prevent this.
The FBI is unable to get a warrant to search data on everyones phones, regardless of what laws are passed. They might be able to get a warrant to search all the data on apple's server (I would consider this unlikely, but I don't know of precedent in either direction), but that data is fundamentally not on everyones phones. This isn't a novel legal question, you cannot search everyones devices without probable cause that "everyone" committed a crime.
