The more realistic scenario is already possible today, and doesn't need to involve so much technical mumbo-jumbo: at step #2, instead of stealing your phone, they kidnap you, and torture you until you give up your password. Done, and no need for steps 3-5.

(And I suspect, for a sufficiently-motivated state-level actor, that actually falls under "easy", or at most "medium".)

Right, so why are we so worried about this? If the government is malevolent they will just kidnap and torture you like the PRC.
