They are offering E2EE despite not currently having plans for client side scanning of content. I have to imagine it's different teams because I want to give the encryption team the benefit of the doubt.
I can't imagine people working on E2EE at Apple would be okay with client side scanning. The reasoning isn't important, it's an easy slippery slope once implemented. I imagine the encryption team has to constantly push for consumer privacy in a climate where privacy is challenged and compromised for ad companies and governments. I would be absolutely shocked if there wasn't a large amount of internal pushback when the old CSAM detection plan was first announced publicly.
