Wow. What a disappointment.
I started saving my photos with Google for two reasons:
- I’m an iPhone user and didn’t want a single company to have access to all my assets,
- it was free and this compensated for the discomfort of using a non-native app.
Without the second argument it makes total sense to look at other, more privacy-oriented providers. Since Apple tries to rebrand itself this way, I would expect more former customers to go there.

Are you concerned about photo analysis for tagging? You can upload to Google Drive in that case and manage the photos yourself like any other provider.
