The problem with your analogy is that in order to rob the person's safe deposit box, you must breach the vault. You cannot directly access to the person's safe deposit box without having open access to other deposit boxes either.
That's a breach either way, regardless of your intended target.
That's not the case with iCloud here, you can breach the customer's account directly without having access to other accounts. You can't use the overall iCloud system to gain access to any account you want.
So, it's not a breach of iCloud, it's a breach of the customer's account, nothing more than that.
With that aside, Apple needs to double up on their security stuff by locking out accounts after 10 tries everywhere at once, not just Find My iPhone.
They need to get rid of the security questions/answers to replace them with random type of info that can't be glanced from other sources like these silly questions.
