The power of marketing.
EU wants Apple to implement digital fingerprinting to fight CSAM: overreach of power, total invigilation, nonono! Apple cannot comply! What about our privacy!
Apple implements the feature and sells it nicely wrapped in a PR material: oh, that's cool, innovative!

  These two things, fingerprinting to fight CSAM, and the Apple Reference Image, are not the same. They have completely different goals and completely different implementations.
