I guess it depends on what you're calling "your data" -- without being able to reconstruct an image from a noised vector, can we say that that vector in any way represents "your data"? The way the process works, Apple makes their own data that leaves your device, but the photo never does.
It's the same as the CSAM initiative. It doesn't matter what they say they send, you cannot trust them to send what they say they send or trust them not to change it in the future.
Anything that leaves my devices should do so with my opt-IN permission.
Even if they implemented the feature with opt-in permissions, why would you trust this company to honor your negative response to the opt-in?
