If you don't have a hardware bound key as part of the KDF then you will be subject to extraction and parallel breaking. It may take more computing power with scrypt but it will be doable. KDFs enforce round constraints relative to the hardware they run on. Being able to extract from that hardware means being able to apply orders of magnitude greater processing and parallelization of that process. Hardware keys like Apple's are the only way to go.
