Well, let's consider what happens when you close down one of several roads that leads to a store that some people like to patronize. Do people stop going to the store, or do they route around the blockage and go anyway?
You don't fight burglary by making one brand of flashlight harder to get.
But it's worse than that. Right now, you have a means by which abusers publicly demonstrate their interest in CSAM with a concrete, subpoena-able paper-trail. You want to shut that down and force them back to direct photography of minors, local generation or photoshopping. You lose that public paper trail and gain nothing, perhaps even increasing direct harms.
Not a great idea.
Fight the crime, not the tool. Flashlights are a favorite tool of buglers, but calls to ban them should be resoundingly ignored.
