Apple should just scan the pictures that are in iCloud (their servers). They just assumed that if you have the iCloud option enabled on your device that it gave them the right to do the scan on your phone/computer.
I want to also point out that A/V companies never said they were going to scan for child abuse images on your computer and report you if they found any.

End result is the same. Difference is, that now Apple has very limited access to your images. You can only trust in closed systems. When you step into the Apple ecosystem, you are giving a lot of trust.

Why would they say, if it is perfectly legal to do anyway. They literally scan every file, so no need to mention anything specific which could lead only for negative PR.

Like you said, the optics are terrible.
