A solution would be that Apple builds a privacy preserving picker in the OS, then mandates apps use it instead of giving them access to the camera roll and letting them roll their own pickers in the first place.

there is already one, the enforcement point is what's missing

this already exists, many apps use it. I do wish it was mandatory for _all_ apps to use it instead of being optional.

iOS (and Android) could also replace the non-privacy-respecting one with a privacy-respecting one that just gives dummy responses to other API calls. Devices should be lying on my behalf to apps and services all the time.
