Some of these seem less cursed, and more just security design?

>Some phones will silently strip GPS data from images when apps without location permission try to access them.

That strikes me as the right thing to do?

Yep, and it's there for very goos reasons. However if you don't know about it, it can be quite surprising and challenging to debug.

Also it's annoying when your phones permissions optimiser runs and removes the location permissions from e.g. Google Photos, and you realise a few months later that your photos no longer have their location.
