Pretty sure you can achieve the same with the standard gallery and other media apps by putting an empty file called .nomedia in the folders you want the apps to ignore. I’m using a third-party gallery app, but seems that the feature is widespread (likely because of the apps relying on Android’s own media scanning).
And to be honest, it feels like the whole “windows is usable you just have to…” do things all the time (then it gets removed from time to time, or changed or ignored)
