They already have the decryption keys for iCloud. Undoubtedly they've already been running a similar CSAM filter server-side for ages. The only thing doing this stuff client side has done is reduce privacy and erode trust.

Apparently they have not - They say facebook reported something like 20m images in a year, and Apple reported 250.

I don't see how the privacy is any more eroded than it already was?

Eroded trust, sure, but that is mostly because they did a terrible job communicating it.
