It would be nice to think that the FBI would abide by such a ruling.

It might not be realistic, but it would be nice.

It would also be nice to think that telco's would hold that information unless legally required to share it.

That also, based on prior reading, seems less than realistic.

But we gotta take it where we can get it. If they are legally barred from doing it, then when they do it, now they are at least legitimately breaking the law, rather than just maybe breaking the law.
