Apple's architecture decision proves a quiet point - that Apple feels it has been illegally pressured by the government (notably the NSA) to crack too many cell-phones, and that their own business and the rights of their users are at risk from an overly aggressive government. I interpret Apple's move as a self-defense mechanism to attempt to stop the immoral actions of a government over-stepping it's bounds, and to protect the people that Apple cares about most - their users.
