The difference is that Google doesn’t advertise itself as a bastion of privacy. Google spying on you is expected. More consumers also pay for iCloud vs Google Drive. Expectations change when you’re paying for a service.

Isn't the difference that with google drive, they scan the files you upload to their servers? And, this latest apple debacle is on scanning files locally on the device itself?

If Apple is to be believed (and doesn't change anything later) then they're doing the same thing. They're scanning the things that are being uploaded to iCloud. They're just doing it locally instead of doing it after they're on the iCloud servers.
