The real TLDR is at the end of the article:

… the argument that Apple has enabled a law enforcement backdoor seems to miss what Apple has actually done. Instead of building a system that allows the company to recover your secret information, Apple has devoted enormous resources to locking themselves out.

If the title is a question, the answer "No" is pretty much guaranteed.

However, contrary to most articles titled with a question, this article is answering the question rather than posing it.
