> if you have one device (as many users do) and you lose that device you would lose all your data. Apple has given that excuse before, but they could just provide the option with a serious warning, or make you jump through a couple of hoops first. Apple is known for not bifurcating user experiences by giving users many options to choose from, but they are also known for their stance on privacy. I don't see why they wouldn't allow for this, maybe at first to trial it on the few that want it before deciding to roll it iCloud-wide. If I were Apple, from a legal standpoint, I'd prefer not to have the ability to decrypt my users' data. Only in that light does it make sense to introduce the PSI/CSAM system on Apple devices, so you can claim you don't host such content, even if you allow users E2EE backups.
