"Look, there's a hack that allows you to avoid this at the cost of convenience that you bought the device for!"
OK.

“Don’t support this company and it’s entire product line because this one app is scanning for kiddie porn”.
Misrepresenting each other’s arguments is not how you have a discussion.

"Don't support this company and it's entire product line because the software on their entire product line is going to call a SWAT team on your location if it thinks it matched something in a database of what some other guys say is kiddie porn, but nobody can see!"
I hope that's precise enough, and sure, everyone is welcome to make their own decisions regarding this.

Precisely wrong. It’s just iCloud photos.
It’s really not irrelevant. A third party photo library that avoids using the PhotoKit library would not be touched by the CSAM detector. There are many of these on the App Store.
One step further and store the photos encrypted, with a custom renderer that decrypts the content on the heap, and that would take some tremendous performance-hitting detection abilities it’s extremely unlikely to ever happen.
