I tried to do exactly this a couple months ago as a "lockdown project". Agree it is quite cumbersome, requiring Adobe Lightroom, a third-party plugin, and also running a python script to convert to GPX. And if you haven't diligent about keeping your camera's clock accurate across timezones and daylight savings time, you're in for even more hassle.
In case you're interested, I wrote up the steps I took here → https://geoffruddock.com/geotag-lightroom-photos-with-google...

Interesting idea. I think that would be pretty easy to implement. How much demand do you think there would be for that? If people are so worried about privacy that they don't want to turn the gps on their phone on do you think they would want to use a tool like this?
most digital cameras don't have GPS tagging, but we carry our phones with us. some of us use google maps timeline, which records all our movements and we can download this as a CSV. for privacy concerns, one can use a gps recorder app instead. if we can match the timestamps of the kml / kmz / gpx file with the timestamp of the camera photos (and adjust timezone differences), then we can geotag digital camera photos that initially have no geotag information. the tools that are out there who do this are cumbersome and difficult to use.
