It is not only Instagram to blame. It started with camera manufacturers marketing towards the semi-pro wannabe and GAS crowd, than moved towards semantic groups in Flicker, than smartphones introduced computational exposure and easy way of taking photos and all of this culminated in Instagram Influencers and Filters.

The UX of Instagram is created by default to serve the normies as an outlet of vanity and virtue signaling.

The idea that social network has no option of uploading from desktop (unless using webdev browser mode) is absurd and clear design dark pattern.
