Passwords so far are somewhat protected under the fifth. And you have to go trough contempt of court. Firmware signing keys that belong to a third party are not.

That it is easier to mandate mandatory decryption to the vendors than to power trough the fifth and get password from a defendant.

All writs on steroids.
