Which is a moral affront, not an offense against a person. The whole reason CSAM is abhorrent is its evidence of abuse. A cartoon is evidence of nothing. We should treat them differently.

This would make cartel execution videos more abhorrent?

Why would watching or possession of evidence of abuse against a person be an offense against a person? Other than potential second-order effects that may or may not occur like increase in demand for abuse?

I think it's perceived as abhorrent mostly because it's an evidence of the person watching being sexually interested in kids.
