Absent this whole article is the fact that there are good reasons for criminals to want to crack your phone. These developments just make it more likely your personal information and, frankly, cash can be stolen by anyone who swipes your phone.

This is one of the best points I have read. Without the community knowing how he is doing it—it can be used maliciously.
There are extremely good reasons for police officers to want access to an iPhone (which could be time dependent). At the same time there’s a lot of potential for misuse of the ability to gain access by agencies or malicious actors.
It’s a trade-off. I err on the privacy side of the issue because things can be misconstrued in a legal setting. I can see why some people don’t have the same viewpoint and lean the other way.
