Ya, ran into this one recently. Had to install gcam instead of stock camera on my OnePlus just so I can use alternative gallery. Android is not truly open source project anymore.
And then if u try using alternative roms - half the cameras your phone has and banking apps are not going to work - Google intentionally castrated the functionality like this.

Was super disappointed to figure this out after installing a different gallery. And AFAIK, there’s no alternative camera app that actually works properly, either.

I’ve always liked Open Camera. Of course YMMV depending on your device.

I use Open Camera on my device, there are some very rare instances where it shows an obscure error saying it can’t find a gallery app. Most of the time though it opens Fossify Gallery just fine
I’m rooted and Google Photos was removed from my device before a single photo was taken, so never seen or heard even a peep from it
