That is not 'exactly' what they're doing. It's loosely what they're doing.

Being grandfathered into a service means you get to keep using it the way you did, full stop.

This service is about uploading and downloading files. All they're preserving is the ability to download them, not upload.

Expecting them to not only exempt you from paying for your previously uploaded photos, but to also allow you to continue to upload photos for free indefinitely seems unreasonable to me. That's not what I'd expect from being grandfathered in.
