These criticisms are reasonable criticisms of a system in general, but Apple's design featured ways to mitigate these issues.
I agree that the basic idea of scanning on device for CSAM has a lot of issues and should not be implemented. What I think was missing from the discourse was an actual look at what Apple were suggesting, in terms of technical specifics, and why that would be well designed to not suffer from these problems.

Apple's mitigations and their inadequacy were discussed.
Also, you can not guarantee that apple/google will use only known instances of csam, what if, govt orders them/google to scan for other type of content under the hood, like documents or god knows what else bc govt want's to screw that person (for the sake of example let's suppose the targeted person is some journalist that discovered shady stuff and govt wants to put em in prison), bc you know, you don't have access to either algorithms and csam scan list that they are using, system could be abused and usually could means 'sometime' it will
