But then doesn't that invite the exact types of people that this type of technology is trying to distance from? If everything is truly 100% encrypted and there's nothing that can be done about it, then iPhones just become tools of criminals and there's no way Apple wants that type of image tied to its brand. Maybe we messed up by making the conversation only meaningful between governments and corporations. So how do we change that or turn the tide when voting with our wallet is the only option?
I don't really agree with this system either but I, at least, appreciate the sentiment that they're trying to solve this problem while also providing E2E encryption (assuming that the internal info is correct and the end goal is full E2E encryption).

> just become tools of criminals
Or activists, journalists, doctors, lawyers, victims of police overreach, etc. If this is a question of framing then shouldn't apple be more than qualified to handle it?
Implement encryption and say the same to the FBI the last time they wanted apple to unlock something: Sorry, we can't.
It's not like encrypted cloud storage without holding the keys or client-side scanning would be new ground. Providers for that already exist and have existed for years.
