To me, this seems like such a transparent attempt to force the tech companies to have a backdoor. If they can scan for CSAM, they can scan (or copy) anything else the government wants.

That's very likely the actual goal. Stopping child abuse is only an excuse, one governments keep pulling out whenever they want to push anti privacy legislation. And it's clear that this would do nothing to stop it either, because then abusers just wouldn't use compromised services from big companies.
