Storing photos in a database was the first design mistake. These should be files in a folder. I know why they did it, to fuck over iPhone users who don't have a mac, but the added complexity of that is just absolutely not worth it.

Photos does store pictures as files in the folder. The .photoslibrary is a package (which is just a directory) you can open and pictures are stored in originals/.
