They will absolutely have to worry about it when Apple is declared a safe haven for child abusers and the government declares they have criminal liability.
In my mind, what might have actually transpired for Apple to announce this change was a less severe instance of such governmental or legal pressure on Apple to scan as much data as the other major tech companies. Last year Apple only submitted a couple hundred reports to the NCMEC, while Facebook submitted 20 million. Looking at those numbers makes it sound like Apple was a nail sticking out that needed to be hammered down.
