Last time I used an iPhone and took a picture and it didn't show up in the "Files" app. WTF? Reminds me of the times when Apple measured hard drive capacities in "songs" instead of GB.
This isn't poor UX, it's just preferences and assumptions on the part of the user. There's an app called "Photos". It's where Photos go. I'd say UXs don't get much simpler than that.
The majority of users don't think in terms of files, and I'd say a significant fraction don't even know what a "file" is.
