Well they certainly really want to crack the Secure Enclave, so maybe this case is moot.

The NSA cracking the Secure Enclave is not the same as the FBI cracking the Secure Enclave.

If the NSA can't crack the Secure Enclave in a terrorism case, it's not super useful that the NSA can crack the Secure Enclave.

Perhaps the NSA is savvy enough to know that a heroic effort isn't needed, and that the FBI is mostly looking to set precedent rather than find anything worth the cost and risk of chip-hacking.
