Apple refused an FBI order to decrypt a phone; however they allow the FBI to access iCloud data all the time. And iMessage is not end-to-end encrypted in iCloud at the explicit request of the FBI. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-apple-fbi-icloud-exclusiv...

Yes but many things on iCloud are E2E encrypted.

Which makes it all the more ridiculous that sensitive things like messages, photos, contacts, and notes aren't, even as an option. Clearly the technical ability is there.
