That's the difference between the government compelling speech (1st Amendment) and serving warrants with due process (5th/14th Amendment).
IANAL, so not sure on recent case law, but last I knew (~2010 Apple encryption case?) the government couldn't compel a private company to change their existing architecture to expose data in unencrypted and/or physically/legally-accessible fashion.
If they already have data security implementation gaps or a tap-susceptible architecture, then it's a different matter. The government serves them a warrant, and they have to comply.
But if Amazon being compelled to reach into a network and retrieve video stored locally is a threat model, that should be mitigated by a tight firewall and non-updating devices...
Half of the IoT privacy gaps are because people don't run network security barriers anymore, and then are shocked when companies abuse them.
