Yeah it's kind of odd, because now law enforcement/the courts can say "well, you have the capability to scan content on device, you just choose not to in some cases", which would seem to open Apple up to being forced to do it in far more cases.
I think we have to look at this through the lens of governments around the world attempting to ban E2E encryption. E2E encryption has both security and privacy benefits, and IMO most people are far more affected by the security benefits, given the frequency of data leaks/hacks. So maybe Apple is saying "let's preserve some of the E2E encryption benefits", but show it can be compatible with LEO demands.
I think the unfortunate reality may be that that is the least bad option.
