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).

I feel like what they would try to do in such a case is to make up some excuse to scan all the photos so you don't know what they're actually doing.
