That's not true. The photos you upload are hashed, yes, but they're not scanned. Only the hashes are compared and that's done locally. Apple never gets any of your content so your equivalency is completely false. Signatures only get sent if the hashes match known CSAM. Therefore, it's like your car reporting you if and only if you've broken the law.
