I'm going to reply to myself and also point out that we don't require safe makers to make "breakable" safes.

Safe manufacturers make the strongest safes they can, and in parallel, the government develops their own capabilities to attack those safes to execute warrants.

The same thing is true for encryption. At its base theory, encryption is just math--but it is implemented in software, and software is imperfect. The government can, and does, attack devices to break encryption systems to get what it needs.

In fact, the Justice Department Inspector General found that the FBI did not go far enough in trying this, before it tried to sue Apple in 2016. And ultimately the FBI did get into that iPhone by breaking it.
