But they needed to get third-party help in order to access the phone, just by suing Apple they seem like they're incompetent at their jobs...

On the other hand, many smaller companies could not have afforded to take this dispute as far as Apple did, so the FBI proved they were willing and able to cause significant final injury to anyone trying to protect their users' privacy. One could look at this case as proof of the ability for the FBI to extort information and cooperation.

They are competent as they solved the problem.
