This is really good to know. I’ve never personally run into this problem despite having the same hardware because I only ever put the final jpeg into apple photos and keep the camera output completely outside of the Apple ecosystem on a hard drive.
You’re conflating small business and large business. The moment you have investors return on investment becomes the sole motivating factor and whatever humanity the organization had will be slowly squeezed out from the top down. This isn’t ideological, it is a legal principle. A corporation taking actions that harm returns opens them up to lawsuits.
Edit: worker owned coops don’t have this issue because they are definitionally managed from the bottom up.
Additional edit: the “you” in my post is doing heavy lifting I mean both the post I replied to and the one directly above it.
