I also want to add that anyone that says “you can just turn off iCloud photos” can just see themselves out of the conversation. Apple iPhones ship with such low free space after OS and apps and they refuse to support SD cards (although it would be trivial for someone with their resources to abstract away the UX problems) and each photo is now 8+ MiB while videos quickly reach a GiB+ that users really have no choice - especially given how badly iPhones double as mass storage USB devices to allow for manual curation - but to enable iCloud photos.
