It might be a "common delusion" where you live (I'm guessing the US), but in every country I've lived in (n=6), it's an accurate understanding of basic privacy

It might be a "common delusion" where you live (I'm guessing the US), but in every country I've lived in (n=6), it's an accurate understanding of basic privacy law. You can't just go and take someone's photo without their permission, even if they're in a public place.

Where does this nonsense ever end? While the question is hyperbolic, and I apologize, that's intentional use of the "Reducto absurdum" fallacy to help illustrate the absurdity of this kind of idea.
