They should just scrap any plans they have to roll out end to end encryption of photos and instead just do server side CSAM scanning as Facebook and Google already do.

Turns out they were, as is industry practice. And their right, as owners of the servers hosting the content.

I really hope it gets dropped too. It accelerated a contingency plan of mine where I take the safe assumption that all closed software is actually a cop.

They were what? Scanning on servers? Then why are the numbers for last year in the low hundreds when FB was almost 17 million?

iCloud mail servers: https://9to5mac.com/2021/08/23/apple-scans-icloud-mail-for-c...

They claim to not scan photos in iCloud. But they could turn this on today, and folks would have less concerns than the on-device scanning.
