The government can just ask them to turn over those. (note that this is legally very different from forcing someone to unlock a device)
It has the option of doing that, it asks you if you want to enable the backups. It also allows you to encrypt the backups with a passkey or a password that you can manually set, client-side.
It didn’t always have the encryption option I think.
