Agreed. I don't think the government cares a bit about the phone itself. They just want the data inside. The problem is that Apple likely would never even agree to that.

Or are you saying that it is more important for the government to be able to prosecute a few people rather than save millions of lives?

Not sure where you are getting this idea from. The government would likely argue here their efforts are to potentially save lots of lives which is more important than protecting the privacy of a few individuals (the two San Bernardino shooters).
