Well in the past iPhones were able to be hacked/unlocked by the maker - Apple. They would only do it when compelled to do so. And it was/is issues with being compelled to do this that this feature of the current version of iOS was created - to improve security which also resulted in Apple not being able to override it.
"Even WE cannot get into these phones, so stop asking"
I applaud Apple for rallying the tech sector to stand up against this sort of bullying.
