The purported hack here would specifically target Cellebrite, not anyone accessing these files in general.

Also, if you know someone is stealing your lunch from the shared work fridge, so you add rat poison to your lunch, do you get to walk away scot free on the theory that it’s the thief’s fault?

But cellebrite could be used by an oppressive regime, or criminals that got their hands on it. I'm doubtful such an argument would hold up in court, but I don't think you can honestly say targeting cellebrite is the same as targeting US law enforcement.
