It doesn't it has to do with the principles argument you were attempting to make, however, I was pointing out the Government and businesses alike, are rife with these issues.  Which still has absolutely nothing to do with the Apple and the FBI, but, here we are.

I meant to use the word "principles" sarcastically, as Apple has yet to make money from selling data to advertisers the way Google does, Apple has their "principles?" to thank, poor choice of words on my part. As I doubt Apple will think twice before adapting Google's bussiness model when they need a new source of revenue. It's getting late and I have gone off the track long ago. Have a good day.

By the way, the other thing you may not be aware of (or maybe you are), the warrant doesn't tell Apple to give the FBI access to the phone.  The warrant merely requests Apple create a special OS that removes the 10 incorrect password limit, that is in their software.  The phone would still need to be brute force hacked by the FBI.
