You can choose whether you want to share the location or not when selecting photos in iOS. You'll see at the bottom a label that says "Location is included", and you can click the three dots to remove location:

Not sure if there's a way to do that by default, I've never checked.

I feel like that's the optimal implementation - best of both worlds

Wish android copied them for once lol

I know which one works better for us. Which works better for grandma?

(Of course, Google's move shouldn't have been altruistic, it would have been pragmatic as mentioned elsewhere.)

If I got paid a nickel every time someone talked about protecting children online and I reinvested it into technology accessibility for seniors, it'd be fully funded! :)

Interesting. How does it work for texting?

I just checked in iMessage. When you add an attachment and select photos, you get the same picker that the rest of the OS uses, it's just in a collapsed state. If you swipe up, it'll expand to fill the screen and that same "Location is included" label and configuration menu is available.
