One thing Google isn’t the best at is retaining metadata in the photo files for Google photos. Takeouts will just throw up a JSON with the meta data rather than put it in the exif portion. I’ve definitely found that Apple photos and iCloud retain this information much more consistently than googles takeout.

This, and the fact that Google Photo's web UI is a poor alternative to a good native photo manager is probably a large part of why I pretty much don't really bother with Google's ecosystem of apps and devices at all anymore.
