Eventually I want to save up enough money to be self sustaining off investments and then spend my time doing whatever I want to do.
The scanning only touches photos which are stored on iCloud. Yes it does it on your phone but the reality is the same on iCloud or Google Photos. Both Apple and Google can push out changes live to every phone without warning, so what they may do in the future doesn't really matter. Only what they claim to be doing now. This is actually a more privacy friendly approach because it would be compatible with encrypted cloud storage.
So it works best for everyone. The average person can track their stolen phones now. And people hiding from the government can still turn it off.
Everything is based on the trust of the OS and hardware so it's not a useful point to make.
