Doesn't a stock Android installation come with several dozen apps? Do you expect to consent to each one individually?

Sound a lot like client side scanning. This can be so easily used to do mass surveillance and censorship. It also makes any encryption in RCS completely useless.
Use GrapheneOS its great

The app doesn’t connect to the internet, so it’s not that big of a deal. I guess that could change in the future though.

It may only be for SMS or google messages. It isn't really clear.

My device has the ability to disable the WiFi + mobile data option for it.
However for apps that actually dont have internet access, they won't show up in this list.

You are complaining about the photo monitoring functionality, which happens 100% on device. You can confirm this very easily by monitoring the app’s network activity when you receive an image. Android System SafetyCore does a lot more things than photo monitoring, one of which is providing emergency location data (ELS). This is required by law in the EU, India, and the USA.
