Sure, but it’s not a huge leap to think it through. In hindsight they obviously should have waited until the cloud encryption was ready to ship at the same time. They probably thought the announcement would be good for PR from the general public even without that and were surprised. If you’re right that cloud encryption was never the plan then I agree what they did doesn’t make sense and they should have just scanned images on the servers instead of bothering with all the fuss.
