It’s already possible to hide the Photos app from the system, so you are wrong on the facts. And the photos app is a lot more like the compressor in your fridge, not like the contents of it. But the point of reasoning by metaphor a lot of commenters on here employ is to obfuscate any assertions. So what do you think: should OS vendors not be allowed to supply default software beyond a kernel? The Settings app should also be customizable? And this is good for users how? Keeps them from getting fat?

Like putting the chocolate underneath the broccolis in the vegetable container?
You might argue that the photos app is required for normal functioning. And I would generally agree with you. However, you could use the same argument for a browser, but bundling Safari per default does not fly anymore.
The time will show what we need to do. So far, IMHO, regulators are able to manage these nuances.
