Google is not entitled to my personal banking information or any other PII! WTF if I go to a store and want to buy I will.

In America at least, “law enforcement” (Police, Ice, CBP) aren’t allowed to force you to enter your password

Might wanna rethink that. If you aren't a citizen, they could just threaten to send you to el salvador if you refuse to unlock (and maybe still do it after you complied). Even judges are getting arrested by the gestapo, I don't feel safe even as a citizen. These are not normal times, I wouldn't put so much faith on the rule of law.

It's not about having faith in the rule of law, it's about minimizing risk. Obviously if they're just gonna kill you or mail you to CECOT there's nothing you can do anyway.
