Apple may have thought this thorough technically, but politically I find it very unlikely the proposed method is a sufficiently effective scanning.
Sooner or later government and NCMEC will push them to complete the feature (understandably so from their POV), and when they do, Apple will have to expand scanning. Apple may have already been pressured to do so.
Sometimes choosing the middle ground is like choosing to drive on the white line in the middle of the road as a 'compromise' between the lanes.
