Right, who is swinging the hammer? Is it the user that asks for it to be swung or is it the thing that responds by swinging?

Do we really need the bad analogy at all?

No.

But if someone uses one, it can make sense to illustrate that it doesn't apply as cleanly as they think.

I dunno, I think a significant amount of fault lies with the developers who were either too stupid and too bad at software to create a tool that couldn’t create CSAM, or were too vile to enable the restriction.

I also think people who defend that kind of software are in dire need of significant introspection.
