the proposal doesn't lead to new security issues
What a naive statement. Of course it leads to new security issues, almost too numerous to talk about. First of all the new OS in order to be used for legal purposes has to be vetted by an outside source. which means that Apple looses control of the code. Oh the FBI failed to mention that , didn't they? Then there is China, Russia, Iran, Israel all in line if the code is writhed to get their access. It goes on and on...

This is a marketing ploy.
As it turns out, the FBi request is also against the law. Twenty years ago CALEA was passed by the US Congress, and there is a section in that bill that specifically prohibits the Government from asking a phone manufacturer to modify either the physical phone or the software. The hearing is going to be very, very interesting, and possibly short.
