Seeing the clown fest happening in US of A, the last thing you want is government having access to private citizen data. Because in politics, money is always involved and money being involved also means corporations and people like Elon Musk are leaving their snail trail.
But they always use the excuses like "think of the kids" or "muh terrorism" to force into user data. UK has been particularly creepy and weird in this regard. Spying on millions of people has never solved any of it, you just put all those millions at risk of data leaks because clowns who demand things like this have no clue how this affects everyone outside of their little narrow field of view.

No, this is so messed up. The UK Government has already started witchhunts for people due to their online presence, and this is an extension of that. Not only can the UK Government now find your social media posts and procecute you for that, they can procecute you by sifting through your personal secret data.
I hope Apple does the right thing and tells the UK Government to stick it. This is not right, and is the next step towards Soviet era monitoring of personal lives.

The government aren't that ones who will access it directly. When needed, they will have employees that will access your phone for them. This can be open for abuse. It's similar to how some bank employees know your bank transaction and details. I wouldn't want to buy a phone that have a backdoor for anyone. It's nuts if Apple would agree to this. If they give in to the UK, then what about other countries that they too demand backdoor access?

Law enforcement agencies think the worst proposal so far, police using signal journalists using signal compromise is a bad idea and no security apps will remain in the UK, end to end encryption is a must

Besides, anyone who has a normal life and sometimes parties can be affected by such back door.
