This story was likely published because the companies themselves told them to take a hike, and they are now trying to garner public sympathy. I don't think they are going to get it. Unauthorized intruders, whether or not they have a piece of paper signed by a guy that wears a robe to work, are not welcome in my phone.
I hope Apple & Google take a hard line on this, at least until the US government passes a law making it illegal to engineer things in a manner that makes it impossible for companies to comply with search warrants. I'm sure that will come, but hopefully it will take a while.
