Another article pointed out that most other cloud based offerings will still provide it if there is a warrant.

But it seems like Apple is the only cloud based offering that cannot actually respond to these requests even if they get one?

I just checked my HomeKit Secure Video camera and it seems like it isn't just the default setting, but the only setting. I see no way to tell it to not encrypt the data when storing it in iCloud (not sure why they would give that option at all TBH)
