You introduced 'generic', as far as I can tell? Maybe they're personal, family, including children, etc. all sorts of things perfectly reasonable not to want 'on the internet' but to share with somebody else specific (by using the internet, sure).
Guess they should use a service like google photos to share them with individuals. Nobody is whitelisting dynamic IP addresses thinking it's secure.

I get paranoia, but come on. I'd rather open it, and monitor for strange activity/fail2ban to automate banning malicious actors.
Don't overthink it. We're sharing pictures, not government secrets.
