Privacy in that sense is security. Never heard of OSINT? EXIF tags are of course security relevant.

/e: to make it more obvious: if I know your neighbourhood I can just blackmail you, I don't even have to hack you. I can gather information by maybe finding out your identity, getting insight into security questions and how you might answer them. I can find newspaper articles you were maybe part of etc. etc.

If you put a photo with your location information on the internet, that’s your problem. It’s not the responsibility of whatever website you’re putting it on to decide for you if you want to share your location.

You imply that this is widely known that images contain your location, which tbh is a very disconnect assumption of the general populous.
