Apple gives up US customer data for about 150,000 users/accounts a year[1]. [1] https://www.apple.com/legal/transparency/us.html https://www.apple.com/legal/transparency/us.html

The goal of this new system is to allow them to no longer have such keys while at the same time not allowing just any content to be uploaded to their cloud systems. If you want to upload anything on their cloud storage you need to pre-encrypt it with some other application and the upload it as a raw file.
