and what is that in your opinion ? why it should work in your opinion just for one phone ?
thats easy. i wouldnt want a private criminal, or a bad friend, or neighbor, to brute force my phone. & we are not talking about disabling it for every phone, are we?

if McAfee says he can do it, I'm pretty sure every Kevin Mitnick could do it :-P
it just requires some time
BTW. how is what FBI asks for NOT "backdoor" from your topic ? how would you name it in your own words ????
it is a backdoor. FOR ONE PHONE. how does this effect your security? if your in china, apple can use discretion not to disable the auto-erase, right? since apple still controls the master key. So why is apple screwing over the FBI? they are not china.
