I saw a comment earlier about this being the USA asking the UK to do this.

Sounds like quite the conspiracy theory, but if the USA were not OK with this, the UK surely wouldn’t dare to take on a crown jewel in the US tech sector, potentially causing them serious problems.

US have asked for far more and far worse from Apple and been given it. Im sure UK was just following the precedent set from other governments.
