You must accept that 3 letter agencies have full root access to any Tim Apple or Google device and will use it if they already went far enough to do an FBI raid on a reporter.
Counterpoint - if they have full root access to any phone, why did they need to do the raid?
This isn't hyperbole. They literally went to the king with gold in hands. There's no WAY they didn't open up their platforms to him.
I'm afraid Snowden was so long time ago, that the most vocal people don't even seemingly know about it, so yet again, we're in a period of time where assuming Apple/Google has full access to anything you do on your device, is seen as conspiracy theories. People seem to forget the past so damn quick, it's a wonder we humans manage to accomplish anything at all at this point.
I don’t have to accept any assertion in the absence of evidence directly supporting it.
