Exactly.
Courts have previously held that software — computer code — is "speech".
And also that the Bill of Rights (specifically the 1st Amendment), in guaranteeing freedom of speech, also protects from any law *compelling* speech.
Meaning that for the government to tell Apple that they must write code for some specific goal is a violation of the Constitution.
