There's also the fact that the NSA has been archiving all data. Even if the law says the government can't do something with that data, or that NSLs can only be used to get non-content data, laws can change on a whim, while Facebook's dominance of a market cannot be easily removed. How effective do you think China suing the US for breaking or changing a law would be, if the whole point of the law is to leverage power against a nation? The possibility exists for potential antagonistic use if the data is stored in the US or owned by a US company, as everything in the US is under US jurisdiction.
If I have a gun pointed at your head and you tell me your current laws say that you will not use the gun against me if I give it to you, why would I believe you? Once I give you the gun, you have the power and will no longer need to follow your own laws.

The FBI simply asked Apple to use its backdoor on the FBI's behalf, not to create a new backdoor that the FBI could use on its own. In China, Apple acceded to the government's demands to block any VPN service that prevents front door access by the government. https://www.google.com/amp/s/techcrunch.com/2017/07/30/apple....

The NSA has done no such thing in the US. It has archived data in war zones according to leaks, but such areas have suspension of many human rights, to the point where this is a minor one.
