Most people have no idea when they upload a “photo” they are also letting anyone know their “location”. On iOS at least, from the browser, you specifically choose whether you want to upload a file from the Files app (that lets you upload files from iCloud, Google Drive, Dropbox or any other storage type service you have installed) or a photo.
These "all users are imbeciles that need our protection" design pattern needs to die a swift death.
Yes and no one who knows how to change an engine should drive a car. This is why geeks make horrible product people and after 30 years geeks are still waiting for “The Year of Linux on the Desktop”.
What you're advocating for is more like the Bluetooth hijacking when you get in a car of transferring your call from you ear piece to your sound system as if you want to blast your phone call to everyone in the parking lot.
Turn on car doesn't mean hijack Bluetooth connection.
Let me phrase this another way: "Computer, I told you to transfer file, not strip meta data".
About Linux: it won the Unix war, the cloud computing war, the embedded war, and is the most installed OS on the planet.
