Yes, but compelling Apple the corporation boils down to compelling individual employees. If the corporation is ordered to write some code, they have to find a way to do so unless they can prove that they are literally unable to (which isn't credible in this case). That would presumably ultimately mean telling some engineers that they have to do this or leave.

They just might. The problem is that there will always be people who will do it for a small amount of money or because of a misplaced sense of patriotism.
