If we’re engaging in straw-man arguments, why don’t they just force such detectors directly in safari? And in your camera feed? That should solve issue even faster, so why stop at half measures?

It's not a straw man to say that Apple is scanning for CSAM because they don't want CSAM. It may be naive or wrong, but it's not a "straw man".

The stated reason they do it this way is to protect privacy. Presumably a lot more people would complain if they scanned the camera feed.
