Are you referring to this: https://support.google.com/android/answer/2812853 If so, do the directions mentioned there help?

The situation you are describing is not morally the same. (edit: striking through this part ~~Adobe's desire for their customers' content is to use it to develop AI tools that Adobe can then resell to its customers.~~) The security checkup you are talking about is intended to combat a real problem that unsophisticated smartphone users are victim to.

Adobe's request to access your content is not based out of intending to safeguard unsophisticated users.

Imagine if Microsoft had to sign off on every single program you write for your own windows box in the name of privacy and safety. It certainly does feel like we're moving in that direction, really.

Microsoft already does something closely similar with Defender. For years. All your files are uploaded to Microsoft cloud automatically, if the file checksum is not in the Defenders database.

It is even very difficult to disable. It always gets back on after a while, unless you do some serious PowerShell magic.

I would bet the TOS allows AI training (to detect vulnerabilities). But I would imagine off-label use is possible too.
