Do you have citations for “Apple has rolled over for law enforcement in the past”? I’m wondering if this is country-specific.

Fortunately you can still back up your devices locally, and store your photos locally, and these backups can be encrypted.

My recollection was erroneous, as I can't (easily) find evidence of them rolling over. But the devices in question still got unlocked, so in the end it didn't matter whether Apple (openly or surreptitiously) cooperated.
