Here's the the one and only question he should be asking himself: Why does Apple need to provide the key to the user's stuff? You want to charge a user? How about getting his keys? If the 5th amendment stops you from doing that - well, tough.
The Constitution is there for a reason, and it seems to me law enforcement have found this "cloud computing" loophole, where they can say that the data you host on other people's servers is not yours, and therefore they can get access to it.
The user seems to have much weaker protection in this case, and it's also very easy for law enforcement to just go to a one-stop shop. So they've gotten very used to that. And they'd very much like that to continue. I bet if there were no more warrants for say a decade, they'd be getting used to that, too, and they'd fight tooth and nail against reinstating the warrants.
