This is unfortunately out of my hand. This has been forever open at https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=752458
One thing I can try to do is to make the file / device camera based option as the first option when user opens the web page on iOS from browsers other than Safari - would that help @Zaffer
One thing that could push Apple move in the direction to implement this would be as mentioned in comment#39
Apple prioritizes features based on developer interest, so the best way to help us convince them to fix this is to file a bug at https://feedbackassistant.apple.com/
Commenting on the WebKit bug (https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=208667) might help somewhat, but not as much as filing at https://feedbackassistant.apple.com/, since the latter is what Apple uses internally for prioritization.
This may practically have no impact, but I tried to raise the concern here as well: https://twitter.com/minhazav/status/1324938828155482113
