You keep using Banks as an analogy. It fails because Banks are used to drilling out locks on flimsy safe-deposit boxes, Apple is not used to hacking old phones via firmware updates.
Nobody is saying the government can't attempt to unlock the phone - or even compel Apple to provide technical information. But that's not what the FBI wants. They want to force Apple to take all the risk.
