To my mind, the problem there is the legal framework permitting these warrantless “emergency” requests in the first place. You can hardly blame Apple for responding to an email from a compromised police address; they have no way of knowing it’s compromised.
How secure is their system If they are not able to verify an official email from a scam email?
It sounds like you may not have read the article. It’s not like they fell for a phishing email; bad actors had access to the actual police email servers.

I’m not saying you’re wrong in principle, or that Big Tech is trustworthy. Just that in this specific instance, the fault doesn’t lie with Apple.
