I agree with this take, but the slippery slope arguments do make sense, as exemplified by any spying technology ever. Once a capability exists, it's too enticing not to continue expanding the scope.
Selling dev consoles on ebay or drugs on the darkweb? We'll take the picture in the listing and find out who took it.
Can't find any matches? This is too ineffective. We'll need Apple to store all hashes on all devices for 6 months.
The slippery slope argument makes a LOT of sense.
