It wouldn't stop at CSAM. Along side it in urgency of appeal to fear is counter-terrorism* . Next would be drug dealing, threats of violence. Then copyright infringement. And finally Amber Alerts and silver alerts. A backdoor or warrant-less search for one category is a backdoor for all. The point is for government power to trump privacy.
*The definition of terrorism depends on your jurisdiction.
