I find it funny that most of the true cyber powers are left off the list but India is considered to be “safe choice”. India may be poor but it is hardly lacking in engineering prowess. Apple’s own employees are a testament to that.

This isn't really about skill. I imagine they want to only include countries that aren't big on cyber warfare.
Well they left USA on the list.
The laws around US citizens hacking the computers of US companies are straightforward and easily applied.
Right, but we aren't talking about private citizens but nation state actors with an interest in cyberwar capabilities. USA is probably near the top of that list.

It's kind of a lost cause when the government could just directly compromise Apple itself though? Maybe they are also fine with helping their own country's cyberwar abilities.
