Its essentially what the apple vs FBI encryption legal battle was about years ago:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple%E2%80%93FBI_encryption_dispute
I'm not really a fan of apple, but I was very happy they stood their ground on that one. They were absolutely right to do so.
The public broohaha surrounding that event makes me think Apple is providing a back door and this psyop was to make people comfortable trusting Apple.
Just a theory though. But apple is all proprietary so nothing is stopping them from doing whatever they want or what ever FISA order said.
I still don't trust them, especially when they announced they were scanning images. I don't really care their reasons for it, that's intrusive. I can't trust any closed source tech, no matter what they say.
