Yes, but if you have enough to hide you will run your stuff in a treucrypt kind of way(there are a few others but i think truecypt is the most well known.) First enemy would then be softwae like Apple because only Apple has the source code.
Key thing is if you use this software properly you will always have plausible denyabilty in encrypts you whole drive but importantly in addition it also adds a second fake os, which you can show if your forced to give your password. Key thin here is off course that you need to login to but systems frequently otherwise you cover will be blown. But the maker of ReiserFS(and file system) killed his wife and the police had no other choice but to make a deal with him as they couldn't prove what there was actually on his hard drive. (but in this case they did have enough additional evidence.)
Well the be honest the usability for ADP is very limited, and for those who need it other options are available, i would start with not relying on Apple or any other company but host everything myself. (specific i mean running fr example the could service on your own encrypted server.) but the average hacker is with normal consumers interested in getting acces to online banking an such, ADP does not protect against that, most modern phones use either face or fingerprint ID.
Yes but an account lock happens when the administrator of the account either Apple in case of icloud or your bank incase of banking or for example BT etc. detects and suspicious login, ADP does not come into play at this level.
Also most breaking attempts come from leaked login details as they also have an limit on the number of tries before gettig blocked. ADP and similar is important when someone has physical acces to your device.(and is likely to try and crack the security, a typical thief just flips it quickly, without even trying)
technically i have nothing to hide but i won't show you are anyone else my banking details etc. either. That's the think with privacy most people probably have nothing off interest but the feeling of someone invading your privacy for whatever reason is not nice, and i think the right to use any encryption i feel suitable should be my choice, not limited by a government mandate, i also don't have an iPhone, ad as stated above if really wanted i know i number of ways to do this without the government being able to pressure any third party to make a backdoor or anything else.
However in principle i believe this is wrong, as it no longer assumes innocence but insist to a level of control, which i also find highly unlikely to be really needed. To government would typically need this for maybe 10% of the population primarily if they think they are hiding assets, criminal activity or fraud but they have so many other ways that it's nonsense to go all-in in the way they did. We as civilians should be able to force the government to report on effectiveness off measurements like this so that they have a responsibility instead of just seemingly hording data or better said hording the rights to access random data without any consequences
