It's true that this is deliberate on the whole, and that we don't abort when the resulting file size is smaller (though I would note it's not actually always smaller) since smaller files mean less data and faster uploads. We also only capture basic EXIF data out of the box to save on JS size, and geolocation is a deliberate omission.

However I'm currently looking at making this easier to change for add-ons. We'll maybe ship a full version of ExifReader and allow add-ons to swap it in. Unfortunately even if you do that manually right now, some other adjustments are needed to map the data back to the shape PHP captures natively so trying to sort that first.
