> Is it possible that this explains what happened with Apple’s Photos app?

I’m out of the loop - what happened with Apple’s Photos app? I’ve seen their marketing from announcements earlier in the year and was looking forward to the update - is it underwhelming?

It's more overwhelming than underwhelming. There are many more views now than just "photo grid" and "photo detail" and lots of annoying "smart" albums, which have more special treatments than just a grid of album photos. It feels unresponsive and I often get stuck in a view with no idea how to just get back to the camera roll. I often quit the app in frustration hoping it'll just get me back to my latest photos. Probably the most unnecessary update I've ever seen on iOS.
