Couldn’t they’ve said they didn’t have the key anymore? Or automatically delete emails after two years or so?

Seems reckless to keep confidential information like that, but I’m not familiar with the legal obligations large companies have, of course.

Yes, they could have lied to the court if they wanted to. That wouldn't have gone well.
