Why would every photo in streetview be required in order to have Geoguessr's dataset in the training data?

I’m pretty sure they are saying that Geoguessr's just pulls directly from Google Streetview. There isn’t a separate Geoguessr dataset, it just pulls from Google’s API (at least that’s what Wikipedia says).

I suspect that Geoguessr's dataset is a subset of Google Streetview, but maybe it really is just pulling everything directly

My guess would be that they pull directly from street-view, maybe with some extra filtering for interesting locations.

Why bother to create a copy, if it can be avoided, right?
