We could've burned that bridge when we got to it. If Apple would've been allowed to implement on-device scanning, they could've done proper E2E "we don't have the keys officer, we can't unlock it" encryption for iCloud.

Instead what we have now is what EVERY SINGLE other cloud provider is: they scan your shit in the cloud all the time unless you specifically only upload locally-encrypted content, which 99.9999% of people will never be bothered to do.

iCloud does have E2EE if you enable it
