"But what if he'd been able to safely access mental health support, confide in family and friends, access PIM for personal usage, or easily engage in consensual AMSC?"

Regardless of whether one should argue for these as a crime deterrent rather than questioning the premise of harm, any solution you propose needs to fit into whatever narrative the target audience subscribes to. The current narrative is:
1. Having sex with a child is BAD BAD BAD, and

2. Anyone who would do that to a child is BAD BAD BAD.
Within that narrative, giving bad people access to child sex and child porn is understandably seen as appeasement, rewarding bad people for posing a danger to children. In this case, the shootings merely serve as a justification for treating pedophiles as dangerous and for giving them harsher sentences. If you want to change the possibility for new solutions, you need to first change the narrative, not propose solutions that don't make sense in the current paradigm (and couched in euphemistic alphabet soup, as the negative reaction to "MAP" demonstrates).
