You haven't noticed that the tyrannical agencies, aka "intelligence" agencies in the west no longer white and throw tantrums about "going blind" and "black holes" etc. regarding Apple device encryption?

I do not get the impression that they just forgot and stopped being traitors.

I mean, you can just look it up instead of spreading conspiracies.

Apple put in functionality that makes it impossible for them to unlock phones and added additional controls to make brute forcing infeasible. The fight was fought, they had it out in court, and it's done.

If that wasn't true, literally all iPhones would be backdoored by the Russians and Chinese lol. Law enforcement is utterly incompetent when it comes to technology, you think they wouldn't immediately leak keys or access?
