Why do I find it comforting that I cannot put a face to any of these names from memory?

The rationale for taking the photos is indeed an enigma. But if one is taking such photos, why in the world allow them to be stored by someone else? Even as a “backup”?

Because people have been told that “the cloud” was super secure and data could never be lost or hacked etc. People were actually stupid enough to believe that.

They probably were not even aware the photos were going to the cloud. Their phone was likely configured with iCloud backup for emergency recovery but they never actually chose to backup those (or any other) pictures.
