Spot on. And they don't provide a "never ask me again" button, as far as I can remember. (I can't check without driving off into the country side and taking a photo to verify...)
To be clear though it is when I take a photo with the Camera app, and I think it's Maps that detects this and asks me. But it's automatic, amounts to the same thing. It may be because I live in a country with relatively fewer tourists so perhaps their photo count around here is lower. (Chile. There are definitely tourists, but it's just not Europe.)
Maps --> Hamburger menu --> Settings --> Notifications --> Your contributions --> Turn off the slider for "Adding your photos" and/or "Adding the first photo"

Regardless, I basically just find it a bit rude.
