That was scary fast. Is there a point in using this algorithm for its intended purpose now?

  If the intended purpose is to lead by example and eventually mandate code on every computing device (phone and computer) that scans all files against a government provided database, then yes, that purpose still exists and this algorithm still works for it. Just wait and watch - I guarantee you that Apple will be talking about CSAM in at least one anti-trust legal battle about why they shouldn't be broken up. Because a walled garden means they can oppress citizens on behalf of governments better.
