Conspiracy theory time. Because Apple is the only OS company that has reliably proven that it won't decrypt hard drives at government request.

It depends on the country it is in, it rejects the US government's request. But it fully complies with any request from the Chinese government

The venn diagram of users who don't want the government to access their data and crowdstrike customers is two circles in different galaxies.

I'd be interested to learn more about that.

My mental model was that Apple provides backdoor decryption keys to China in advance for devices sold in China/Chinese iCloud accounts, but that they cannot/will not bypass device encryption for China for devices sold outside of the country/foreign iCloud accounts.

It's probably being run on an enterprise-managed mac. The only person who can be locked out via encryption is the user.

This is a true conspiracy .

Seriously? Crowdstrike is obviously NSA just like Kaspersky is obviously KGB and Wiz is obviously Mossad. Why else are counties so anxious about local businesses not using agents made by foreign actors?

KGB is not even a thing. Modern equivalent is FSB, no? I'm skeptical. I don't think it's obvious that these are all basically fronts, as much as I'm willing to believe that IC tentacles reach wide and deep.
