I don't have the know-how, why couldn't this group do what's needed to get a dump of the decryption key? What's needed to make this possible?

Two ways: undisclosed software exploit, or decapping and using an electron microscope. The former would be a world first as AFAIK no hacking group has claimed to be able to do that yet, and the latter is very expensive and extremely hard.
