The proposal is the exact opposite of how you characterize it.
> Apple just side-stepped the question on how to reconcile trust in propietary software and surveillance requests from the government.
They actually inserted themselves into the process, not side-stepped it. They could’ve kept status quo (no scanning) and kept supplying iCloud Backups to governments at large rates. As part of this, they’re also forced to add a greatly increased human review function.
> We don't even know what big brother wants to know about you.
They’ve explicitly stated what they’re scanning for and went further to say they will not scan for other types of content. You may not believe them, but this is not a content-neutral or blind justification.
