But it absolutely provides more security... the app can see only the exact photos you allow. It is a bit annoying as an extra step, but I'll happily give apps access to a single photo selectively versus the all-or-nothing approach where I might choose to completely stop using an app.

Sorry, yes, the segmenting out of permissions on a per-picture basis adds security. What I mean is, the additional hassle added, but the way iOS and apps currently do it, is not necessary for that security. There should be an interface directly from the prompt for pictures on the app's side, to the selection of photo's on my phone's side, to the point that adding pictures is just as easy as it was before. There's no reason for the extra steps to get this added security.
