This was an annoying issue with one of the Twitter competitors a while ago; their app asked for photo access, I gave it partial access, it grumbled that it needs ALL of it, and refused to let me upload any photo. I thought it was a "total photos < X" heuristic, so I went back and picked like 30 old photos, and it still knew that wasn't all of it.

Probably because it's file based. Don't they have a feature to paste a picture from clipboard or photocamera?

That still works regardless of file permissions, own-app storage is always allowed on both iOS and Android since ever on iOS and since Android ~6. And clipboard access is all API-based, at least.
