Because a shit technical solution (which opens the doors to other abuses) isn’t the fix. Because Apple are not the government.
A meaningful scheme to protect the children would need:
- better sex ed in schools
- better education for parents and people who would like to become parents as to the risks and signs
- publicly announced meaningful support for people who self-identify with dangerous thoughts and seek help before their thoughts become behaviours
- better support for people from abusive homes as they mature
- (probably) two or three generations to pass through before you could measure statistically sound improvement

More eyes on the problem and you will get better results. Easy solution that cannot be abused by bad political actors.
