Could you build this?
Partial Interfacing safely with iOS device filesystems via USB on macOS and executing verified deletions requires native macOS Apple frameworks (like ImageCaptureCore / MobileDevice private frameworks) and careful fault-tolerant I/O.
What it would actually take: A native Swift/macOS application utilizing ImageCaptureCore framework or libimobiledevice bindings to detect and enumerate DCIM assets over USB. The challenge is ensuring atomic, checksummed transfers across external file systems and handling the strict permission model and verification required to safely issue deletion commands to iOS photo libraries without data corruption.
