I also have the issue that Google Takeout just flat out fails every time I try it. I tried getting support for it via my paid Google One subscription but I just got bounced around different teams and nobody knew what to do. Ultimately they just said it can’t be fixed. For me, it was the last straw. I bought an iPhone and I’m degoogling now. I guess to get my data out I might need to submit an GDPR data portability request, if I can find where to submit it.

The Data Protection Officer is a formally defined role within the GDPR. Search for that term + company, and you should find an address. Generally dpo@company.com, or similar. The Data Accessibility modalities need to be defined in the Data Processing Agreement. So "dpa" or "data processing agreement" are also good search terms.

FWIW Apple Photos is even worse. There is no mass export mechanism for Apple Photos, and it won't let you sync an album on MacOS to an external drive. I had to make a MacOS VM on my server and attach a large internal drive. Then, after syncing my 900 GB of media, I connected the drive to a Linux VM and extracted the media from the Photos library.
