Law enforcement doesn't need to do that. They can go direct to Apple because Apple's iCloud backup breaks iMessage end-to-end encryption for almost all people anyway (few enable the advanced protection program that fixes this blatant hole and both sides need it enabled to preserve the encryption). This isn't a conspiracy theory, it's documented behavior from Apple. People don't know or care. Use Signal if you want end-to-end encryption and don't feel bad about using Beeper for people stuck on iMessage.
