Tell HN: Google Photos API does not allow downloading original images

Inspired by the NYTimes story[1] of the past few days of several families that were locked out of their Google accounts forever I decided to try syncing my photo library from Google Photos to S3 using rclone, but it turns out Google Photos does not support getting your original quality photos back OUT. The only way is through the manual and laborious "takeout" process.
