Privacy isn't a binary option. There are levels of privacy between "private" and "not private".
What Apple has implemented is a LOT closer to "private" than "not private"
Of course it's fine to not desire privacy, or to desire a privacy level that is less than private. That's up to you. I liked the privacy of my old Canon digicam that had no internet. A photo app on a phone that sends stuff over the network might bring some useful functionality in return, but it can only be considered a regression in terms of privacy.
