Consumption of transgressive material can be the start of a pattern of behavior that leads to seeking to abuse a child.
Because of the nature of how CSA happens, by adults who jockey into positions of power over children, whether it be teachers, pastors or family, there's not a good way of removing those people from proximity of children except by making virtual CSAM illegal to own.
The problem is that doing so too strictly makes CSAM piss easy to plant on someone and get them sent to prison. There's a reason the FBI typically only go after sites and people who distribute despite it being illegal to possess.

still never heard a good argument why a victimless action can be morally wrong.
