It seems strange to demand they ask “permission” in this instance but not e.g. to let you sort you photos by date, or album, or location.
(I agree this is the point in contention, I just don’t understand it).

The comment you're replying to (and the whole sub-thread in fact) isn't about if how Apple is doing it is the best/worst way, but rather before they do it, they don't ask for permission. Regardless of how they technically do it, the fact that they don't ask beforehand is what is being argued about here.
