This could be worked around, in theory
Comment on Immich v3.0.0 is out, with Workflows preview

By operating a relay? Then it wouldnt be 100% selfhost and be dependant on immich being accessible at all times.eutampieri@feddit.it 18 hours ago
Yes, exactly. But at least you can have an e2e encrypted relay as syncthing does.
This problem is similar to the one faced by Matrix on iOS, and they provide the notification service. All of your conclusions apply though.

And not eventually bought by some shady company.

If so Apple would reject the app from the App Store.
Ahahaha, nice. Reminds me of how we looked at implementing share-to-app (when that was a novel thing) in a mobile OS circa 2011 and we looked at how iOS did it. It was a list of hardcoded targets - Facebook, Twitter. No pluggability no nothing. Our product team was like - if no pluggability is good enough for Apple, it’s good enough for us!
