One important fact(1) i haven't heard in the entire hearing:
(2)The FBI wants 3 things: disable 'erase after 10', disable delay between attempts, create possibility to enter PINs programmatically so they can be brute forced.
(1) If this would be created, criminals/terrorist could easily defeat this by (instead of 6 digits) enabling alphanumeric passwords and creating strong passwords that cannot be brute forced (which isn't even a usability problem since you can easily unlock your iPhone with your fingerpint most of the time.)
So the end result of (2): security is lowered for 99% of all people (innocent) and criminals/terrorist (1%) can still easily avoid being caught by this measure.
