That's essentially Apple's concern, isn't it? That they will want to increasingly rely on this version of iOS, and eventually accidentally compromise Apple's security model?
Well, I assume Apple have multiple concerns - one is that the cops will leak the backdoor. But even if you could backdoor iOS in a way that couldn't leak, I think Apple would still oppose it.
Apple see this as the thin end of a wedge, establishing the principle that the feds can force Apple to put backdoors in iOS and Apple can't say no. The thick end of the wedge will have much wider scope and much less oversight.
