These days, most consumer and commercial machines are running multiple operating systems under Linux below ring 0. Same goes for hardware components with full access to memory and CPU time running their own OSes. Linux is mostly to completely unaware of their existence and can't do much if anything about them.

Do you have any legal cases where this occurred?
While it is technologically possible, I have never heard of a case of this actually happening.

...on LUKS? Are you sure Apple and Google had this guy's local encryption password on hand? Unless of course he reused his password (highly likely), which is the actual flaw in his security
Don't think this is the case?
Prove me wrong. Show me in their source code of the OS you're running that they don't do this.
The absence of auditability is evidence for tyranny. Auditability in the case of software is open source software and open source hardware, up and down the entire stack of the device in use. Anything short of that, and you're pwned without even being able to know or prove it -- when it comes to government.
