In 2006 I successfully copied all pictures off my Motorola Razr via Bluetooth to my PC in one go. Try doing that with your new iPhone Air. Who's losing old photos again?
Much easier (and faster) than the BT stuff from the Razr era.

I regularly export photos from Apple Photos on my Macbook. You just cmd-a cmd-c cmd-v. Sure its clunky but it works.
As they say, every safety regulation is written in blood.

iPhone AirDrop works really well?

Even without Apple software, connecting to a Windows PC with a USB cable, iPhone will present itself as a digital camera so you can import photos with the built-in Microsoft photos app or file explorer. You can also use Apple’s Windows software.
On Mac, even without iCloud, you can sync photos “the old way” just like iPod synced content used to do. The photos app will transfer photos over USB or WiFi and you can even have it automatically delete imported photos on your iPhone to free up space, mimicking the workflow of a digital camera.
The Photos app can export to plain files trivially, with a simple drag and drop.
There are also iPhone applications that automatically handle background imports (such as Ente and Google Photos). There are also numerous iPhone transfer apps that can integrate into the share sheet, the possibilities are basically endless.
There’s also AirDrop, or you can move files via the files app to any compatible cloud or local photos app.
I think things like text messages and related memories are being lost because companies like apple jealously prevent exporting and saving. (camera roll allows export) Lots of relatives lost a phone or access to an account and with it, all photos from friends, text messages to deceased loved ones, and more. all this stuff should be exportable to multiple places for lots of backups on all kinds of media.
Not the easiest operation, but hardly jealously prevented.

Messages, select user, click the user icon to get to the info page, click Photos, Edit, Select, Download -> photos are in the Photos app and you can do what you want with them. Not the easiest operation, but hardly jealously prevented.
