   I agree with you and I disagree with Frank who had chastised you.   
      
   What appears to be transpiring are the following events:   
      
   1. Apple said in court the last thing they'll ever want to do   
      is to interoperate with Android. That's a fact, paraphrased.   
      
   2. The EU forced Apple to interoperate (a little bit) with Android.   
      
   3. Unfortunately, the EU didn't force Apple to handle encryption.   
      
   4. So nobody gets interoperability (with encryption) because   
      Apple execs decided interoperability is a threat to their profits.   
      
   5. And it is.   
      
   6. Meanwhile, most people are completely clueless that the problem is   
      that Apple has no intention of ever interoperating with Android.   
      
   7. Hence, the FBI warned people that, essentially, there is no   
      encryption when Apple messages are involved with Android devices.   
      
   The FBI doesn't take sides so they don't mention Apple is the problem.   
   But anyone with half a brain is well aware that Apple is the problem.
