1. Even the reddit posts doesn't claim that

2. Do you think Apple would put the screenshots in the Photos app if they were taking them in order to spy on you?

> to spy on you

You made that leap yourself.

I'm not pointing out a grand conspiracy, I'm pointing out another another gap in Apples privacy model.

That is literally the entire post. But okay

No, he's saying that if you enable it, you'll end up with a lot of screenshots. There is no implication that they were not triggered by a tap. He even says "accidentally being triggered constantly".

Yes I did make the leap, because it doesn't seem like a relevant issue if it's not done on purpose by Apple.
