Closed-source doesn't change the central issue, which is that the FBI does not have Apple's code signing key.

Poor choice of words, I meant general "closedness" of the platform - from undocumented design, through lack of source code up to centralized code signing.

The only reasonable way for law enforcement to deal with even a single one of those factors is to request help from device vendor.
