Them being forced to include these terms is a win in and of itself, but it still protects people who otherwise had no protections even if they didn't use these services.
I fear it would be a pyrrhic victory at best; all it takes is one instance of acceptance (via smartphone update, or an infinite number of other avenues) for it to propagate to every other entity.
That’s actually before encountering ownership issues of photos, as it usually is the photographer who owns the copyright to an image - and if they upload that photo to a service and agree for it to be trained upon; what happens next?
I think you might be overestimating cooperation between these companies, but it's definitely a valid concern.
