"Then, with all due respect, the attacker could just download actual CSAM."

If you didn't have Apple scanning your drive trying to find a new way for you to go to prison then it wouldn't be a problem.

It’s misleading to say that they scan your “drive”. They scan pictures as they are uploaded to iCloud Photo Library.

Also, most other major cloud photo providers scan images server side, leading to the same effect (but with them accessing more data).

Yes. But this whole discussion is about potential problems/exploits with hash collisions (see title).
