Sure, but there are companies like the Israeli NSO which apparently has cracked the uncrackable iPhone secure enclave, I can't believe that for the right amount of money they wouldn't take a stab at it, or at least try to figure out a way to have unlimited password tries for this guy. Idk, maybe I'm being naive.
Well, to be clear, they'd be working on contingency. Unless this guy is otherwise wealthy, he probably won't have a million dollars laying around to give them.
I wouldn't hold my breath on companies willing to work on contingency to break a piece of crypto the US government uses. Not that the government is particularly competent at this, but it's a reasonable bar. Plus there will almost certainly be legal issues stemming from cracking devices the government uses.
