Then instead of mandating a backdoor to cloud data, the UK would just mandate backdoor access to the devices themselves, again forcing Apple's hand to either comply or GTFO, if they want it bad enough.

Besides, never trust E2EE where you don't control both ends, but everyone here should have already known that.
