there is significant time overhead and increased visibility/decreased quality(in terms of usability) in this method. a 100 page document would take a long time to photograph, but not as long to transfer, and you'd be less visible.

Not only that but you need to be physically present to take photos, that isn't the case where hacking is concerned.

If you look at the last two "major" leaks (manning, snowden), they didn't involve any hacking at all. Employees simply abused their privileges to copy information.

Yes, but that would make spy movie believable and thrilling again.
