Pretty much all the photos in Apple/Google photos are going to be JPEG and HEIF which do support EXIF. But both services basically will not touch what came out of the camera at all. If you add a description or date, it gets stored externally to the image so when you export your data, those changes are lost. Or they get dumped in a JSON file requiring you to use some custom script to handle it.
