Assuming the marketplace is functioning, the demand for these sort of "features" (aka: non-features) would assume there would be a rational supplier to give it.
The next step in that debate is "yeah but the big monopolies are making it impossible for a little guy to get in." Which is true.
We can agree the regulatory capture is bad.
In the meanwhile, Google is not openly saying they will run ML on your images on your phone. With Android, you don't have to sync to the cloud, and you could even replace or add your own camera option. You can side-load without jailbreaking, etc.
Now, not that most consumer friendly option, but the advice for this crowd is still good - if you still have an iPhone and this is the last straw for you, there are plenty of good options that still exist, today. And then - let's fight regulatory capture and big government so a more dynamic marketplace can take root.

Although, Mazda’s website does say this, so maybe it will not be for long before they all come connected to mobile networks:
