As other posters have mentioned, you misunderstand OSM. Geotagged photos go on Mapillary, for example, where they can be used to improve OSM, but not on OSM itself.
But contributing to OSM is definitely not inherently complicated: the StreetComplete app has been around for years and lets any ordinary phone owner add details with just a few taps, in an environment much like a computer game. It is true that powerful editors like JOSM or Vespucci have a steeper learning curve, but since changes to OSM immediately go live and e.g. deleting a highway by mistake would be bad, you want some level of friction.
