True, but I don't see how that relates to anything? You asked for a hypothetical set of people who'd have iCloud Photos disabled but would accept metadata being sent to Apple for better search. I can't help you if you want to move the goalposts after I give you that.

No, I didn't ask for a hypothetical set. I wanted the actual set of people.

Well, neither of us have any way of surveying the public about that, do we? My claim that those people would be okay with it has as much weight as yours that they wouldn't.
I can try to turn down my natural inclination towards cautious phrasing, if you'd like? Get us on the same level. :D
As the article notes, this new feature is so "popular" that neither Apple nor the Apple media have bothered to mention it. AFAICT it's not even in Apple's document listing all the new features of iOS 18: https://www.apple.com/ios/ios-18/pdf/iOS_18_All_New_Features...
