a bit of stretched speculation - may be Apple is just ahead of the curve getting ready (and thus naturally bringing it closer - dialectics though) for a future where "common carrier" protections would get eroded even more. We already have FOSTA laws against websites and it isn't a big stretch to imagine that the Apple style scanning would become a "reasonable care/etc." under FOSTA style laws.
