What I don't understand is do they REALLY need Apple to write this for
them? It does seem like a simple (or at least straight forward) enough
task. And I'll be really surprised if they're not tools out there
already that does this.

And can't they just remove the memory card, make as many copies as
they want, and run whatever tools on those images?


What am I missing?
