If the UK wants the law to change, that’s up to the citizens of the UK. These are the people they elected.

Don’t expect Apple to rescue the UK citizens to from their own choices.

So, Apple will just give in to whoever is in power? They were not this soft in the San Bernardino case when FBI asked them to unlock a phone.

    This is definitionally why a country is sovereign and a company isn't.

    FBI has to follow the laws of the USA.

    The UK writes the laws of the UK, which Apple (if they want to operate in the UK) has to follow.

    The FBI doesn’t create laws. If Congress had passed a law then you would have a good analogy.

    Yes Apple follows the laws of every country it operates in just like any other company.
