It is basically trivial at this point to connect an outdoor picture to a physical location. This sounds like basic online safety to me.

Really? Let’s try, tell me my location without using my comment history (because it says)

You obviously understand the concept, given your very specific constraints. OP noted that the particular photo they took would need to be cropped or edited to protect their location.
This photo shows like 1% of a building, no cars, road, structures, or horizon.
Applying the rule “no outdoor photos of your location” covers all of these possibilities, making it a pretty good rule of thumb. Even if you are cautious, you could accidentally post some rare tree or background detail that gives up your location.
So we shouldn’t shame anyone for not posting photos they consider unsafe.
