As a parallel – imagine if the file picker on web browsers gave a website access to all the metadata of any file on your hard drive.

Once you pick a file, I'm fairly certain that the metadata is made available as a JavaScript Blob object containing any relevant metadata (this is how Facebook geotags uploaded photos)

Yes maybe. On one file. The iOS version gives access to all files after you allow it. That’s the point.
