> They want to move to e2e for photos so they don't have to keep those keys.

That's my suspicion too, but has it actually been confirmed?

Well why else would they bother? This is WAY more complicated than just scanning on their servers.

We have no information to make a decision there. It could be (as you say) because they want to implement E2E cloud, but it could just as well be because they want to start scanning offline content for folks that opted out of iCloud storage (and even if that is not their immediate intent, you can't argue implementing this system doesn't take them 95% of the way to making that possible)
