It is cursed because now the photo management app needs to ask for the permission to constantly track you instead of only getting location of a limited set of past points where you specifically chose to take a photo. Besides giving malicious photo app developers an excuse for these permissions, it also contributes to permission fatigue by training to give random applications wide permissions.
