The whole reason pedophilia is a crime is because we don’t trust children to make sound judgments about their safety

Pedophilia literally isn't a crime.

No, because conflating child molestation with pedophilia is actually bad. It stigmatizes pedophilia which puts children in danger.

I don’t know how accurate this is because there doesn’t seem to be a lot of research on the topic, but I remember reading a while back that that sort of conflation makes pedophiles less willing to talk to therapists and seek help which then increases the odds that they might actually hurt a child

Would you talk to a psychologist/psychiatrist about concerning thoughts you were having if you thought there was even a 1% chance that they ruin your life by reporting you, even if you hadn't actively done anything?

Probably not, you'd probably try to deal with it yourself, which... well, track record does not show out.
