In the OP article it seems more like users demand to search their photos by text, and Apple has put in a huge effort to enable that without gaining access to your photos.

Seems?

It's important to read, and not skim.

This is extracting location based data, not content based data in an image (like searching for all photos with a cup in it).

"Enhanced Visual Search in Photos allows you to search for photos using landmarks or points of interest. Your device privately matches places in your photos to a global index Apple maintains on our servers. "
