I don't think the FBI has any far reaching nefarious purpose for this "backdoor" from Apple. They most likely only want to get into this phone.

The problem is, once they get this new power, it could easily "slip" out of their grasp and end up with the wrong people. The FBI is comprised of human beings, and we know how that goes. So the end result will be our worst fear come to life, whether the FBI is being shady or not. It will happen.

It's the same reason you don't tell anyone your passwords for ANYTHING -- even close friends or family. It's just following good nerd security practices.
