Can someone explain if Cellebrite (or similar tools) can bypass your device's Encryption? (sh.itjust.works)

I'm talking about this article that I remember reading last year, but I never fully comprehend it. https://archive.md/qgBWB

Especially one of the images:

What does "BFU Extractions" mean? Does it just straight up bypass any lockscreen, even Before First Unlock?

The first time I came across that article, I just assumed if you have a strong password, your fine, now I'm not so sure, I'm starting to get a bit paranoid... 😖

Theyre not saying anything about reading the key off the phone. Brute force the key by trying every key against the encrypted data dump.
