IMO Apple should provide the user with audit logs of which photos/videos were accessed by each app. It might be a long list but it alleviates doubt and would put huge pressure on reputable developers to ensure they don’t get caught doing things the user wouldn’t have expected (even if the user technically allowed it).

And risk their revenue? No way. It will come as “privacy preserving on-device-blabla” something that ultimately wouldn’t really protect users, only move the problem elsewhere in the stack. Like any other “privacy” feature of iOS.
