I agree completely that you should be able to take nude photos of yourself, but I still wouldn't use a phone to do it -- my phone's pictures get backed up to the cloud automatically, and even if they didn't, the phone provider is probably the least likely risk that I face. I am probably more at risk from some rogue app that I installed on my phone.

When I have done this in the past, we did it the old fashioned way -- took the pics with a non-connected digital camera, printed the ones we liked, then kept the rest on an encrypted USB drive. Even this has the risk of leaking your photos to the cloud if your computer is set up for cloud backup.

It seems people are mad you took reasonable precautions.

Probably got too close to "victim blaming" for the crowd here.

Being able to trust your hardware/software is important, but also knowing why you can't (for now, maybe not ever) trust your hardware is also important - maybe more important.
