Apple would have little to do with it as CFAA violations are a criminal matter.

And I’m not very impressed by US legislators in any context, they’re politicians first and foremost, ones that are always 2-4 years away from elections.

Even in a criminal matter, wouldn't Apple's description of their systems and services matter quite a lot on how that would go?
Apple would only have to report it, similar to how you report a regular trespass and provide some evidence like logs.

Maybe, if LE is unable to connect the dots, explain how it was done so the prosecution can explain it well.

But it’s significantly less intrusive than a civil case where a lot of discovery is involved.
