And it's fine to treat everyone as a potential criminal when we entrust our data on the same company's servers? No matter if on-device scanning makes surveillance easier than ever, the surveillance itself was still a significant possibility up to this point with server-side scanning. Imagine how many petabytes of user data already exist in the cloud.

So in your mind because bad thing X is already happening, it's completely OK for bad thing XY to also start happening?

No, it's that in spite of there already being an invasive scanning process in place for this long at every major tech company that handles user data, nobody seemed to care until now.

Also, there's a difference. You upload stuff to someone's server' if they don't vet it, they become accomplices. Apple intrudes on what you do on your phone, this, among other things, tells that you paid mad bucks for this phone and you don't even own it, you rent it from your phonelord Apple. Also, in their eyes you're suspect and likely a filthy pedo.
Even Pegasus wasn't that much rotten, it at least wasn't indiscriminately installed onto everyone's phone.
But what can I say, there wasn't much uproar about piracy tax on blank CD-R(W) media back in the day, so why not have that now. And eventually we go peak USSR where everyone and their dog is suspect and whoever is arrested is the enemy of the people. Yay, it's somehow reassuring to know I won't live long enough to see it.
