I don’t follow. This system is exactly what you’re describing. Apple is not able to access any of your data. The most they get access to is the signature of the file (which would already be matched with known CSAM content) and a potential thumbnail of the CSAM content.

I feel like it should be obvious that I'm describing a system where they don't add this code.

And depending on what's in the database, signatures and thumbnails can be really bad.
