I think you are jumping ahead. I am not, and I don't think anyone here seriously thinks that kiddie fiddling is new. The issue is that Apple's platform is being used to store and share this abuse. Not by some clever mastermind, but by tech illiterate garden variety nonces. As I have alluded to before, whatsapp have reported hundreds of thousands of images in 2020. Apple have reported 256.[1] This is a legal and PR risk. Storing these images, and or allowing them to be distributed via a system that you own carries stiff legal penalties. They have to do something about it. I don't think client side scanning is the best way. The crucial point is this, you won't be able to find all of the nonces. But you will be able to find a good number. The idea is that you remove the ability for your standard criminal to be able to use your platform. Or at least give them the feeling that they might not be able to operate with impunity. There will always be sophisticated criminals, always. But if we can keep them to a manageable number, then that will be an improvement.
