The GP comment was calling for complex context-aware cross-app functionality. The new Photos app features do have their use, but they are limited to the particular compartmentalized use cases envisaged by Apple. For example, they support cats and dogs specifically, but not pets in general. There’s also the tendency that once a feature has shipped, it’s apparently considered “done”, and the lead developers likely move on to other things. It doesn’t feel like there is a continuous ownership and coherent vision behind the features and apps, or behind the overall OS trajectory.
