Apple will and did surrender iCloud data to LE, so would Google. they denied unlocking the device or implementing backdoor in the future, which I believe is not feature any other vendors have implemented. And let's not forget that the device apple was so eager to protect belonged to already dead terrorist, as far as average user is concerned that was a PR stunt.

Apple wasn't eager to protect the device of a terrorist. They were eager to protect everyone's devices. Opening up access to "the terrorist's" device would open up that access to every device. I, personally, think they made absolutely the right call.
