there are many examples on this, IOS makes warning messages for other developer apps, but none for their own apps. I received warnings that google maps has used my background location, or than google photos or synology photos have access to my photos, but not a message on the same access from apple maps or apple photos.

This is not true. Apple's own apps, like the Weather widget, will display location permission "nag" screens occasionally just like third-party apps do.

Apple Maps doesn't use your location in the background. It only uses your location while the app is open, or while you're actively navigating using it.
Apple Photos is your photos. It'd be weird to warn the user that it "has access" to itself.
