It's not about security or privacy for Apple. It's about the image of it.

Apple devices aren't inherently more secure than competing devices, they just make a bigger spectacle about it. In this case they could easily region lock the feature being requested but it's much better for their image to just sling threats. I'd honestly not be surprised if they are also developing the feature in the background so they can roll back out to the UK at a later date.
