This has never been my experience with any Samsung or Android phone. 
I have never had problems with hidden photo files.  The only 'problem' I 
have ever had is whereas with my first Samsung phone, a Galaxy Note 2 
now long since dead, you could just connect the phone to the PC and 
everything would be accessible, now I have to 'sign in' to a phone by 
whatever method you have set up, for example fingerprint recognition or 
PIN, and possibly make suitable choices on it before the phone's 
directory structure appears in Windows Explorer.

Once I've 'signed in' to my Samsung SM-T719, I can see the directory 
structure, including photos in:
     Tablet\DCIM\Camera

Once I've 'signed in' to my Pixel 8a, I have to swipe down to bring up 
the notifications and make further choices there before I can see the 
directory structure on the PC, including photos in:
     DCIM\Camera
