Having a device you own scan your files and report you is fundamentally different from having a server which you submitted plaintext files to search you. I agree both are bad, but Apple's scheme erodes a critical boundary. It would be like if the bank searched your safe deposit box stored in their vault in the course of their business, but then later announced that to reduce the need to search your vault they'd be stationing a spy in your home to inspect the box before you leave for the bank. The spy will secretly report back to the bank if he sees something he suspects, and then the bank will search. With these collision examples, you now learn that the spy will also be tripping balls.
