Tell that to the FBI. They seem to have been quite upset about not being able to unlock some iPhones.
Doesn't anyone wonder why you never seem to hear stories about FBI being unable to unlock encrypted user devices? Surely at the number of people who encrypt their Windows devices is in the tens of millions in the U.S. alone, and some of them must have been caught by law enforcement for various crimes.
