Are photos uploaded to iCloud encrypted client-side?

I suggest the answer is in the negative, given the ability to look at them on the web, and the ability to reset your iCloud password using 2FA.

These suggest Apple has a copy of the decryption keys, which I'm happy for them to use to scan files I have stored on their servers, for CSAM, or, within reason, anything.

Well, I can share a link to them and others can see them, including anonymous users. Just leads me to believe that either they aren’t or if they are, they have the key.

This boils down to “I have nothing to hide.” I encourage you to review https://www.schneier.com/essays/archives/2006/05/the_eternal... and consider if you really feel this way.
