The Bernardino incident is a very different issue where Apple refused to use its own private key to sign a tool that would have unlocked any iPhone. There is absolutely no comparison between Apple's and MS conduct here because the architectures of the respective systems are so different (but of course, that's a choice each company made).

Should Apple find itself with a comparable decryption key in its possession, it would have little options but to comply and hand it over.
