As far as I know Android devices do not implement the scheme that Apple is considering.
But you're right that some users absolutely do not care (or can only use Apple devices), they will now give up their right to privacy.
But you don't have to look that far to see that a lot of users disagree with what Apple is doing here.

No, instead they just scan everything you upload to their service: https://support.google.com/transparencyreport/answer/10330933?hl=en#zippy=%2Cwhat-is-googles-approach-to-combating-csam%2Chow-does-google-identify-csam-on-its-platform%2Cwhat-does-google-do-when-it-detects-csam-on-its-platform https://support.google.com/transparencyreport/answer/1033093...

And scanning for CSAM is certainly commendable, but the whole issue with Apple's implementation is that you lose your privacy on your own device. That is a step too far.
