> Americans would find it intrusive if Apple was strong enough to tell the US govt to back off.

Are you sure? I remember people backing Apple when they were protecting users phones from FBI hacking.

I don't think Apple has the strength to tell the US government to back off, and I don't think Americans think so either. When Apple goes through the American legal system, that's the power of the American judiciary.

But Belarus?

That was the marketing, not reality.

The reality was their phone did get "hacked" and Apple participated in PRISM.
