What will happen if I don't turn on iCloud Photos when Apple shuts down My Photo Stream?
Will I be able to continue to import photos from my iPhone to my iMac's Photos Library via USB cable?
Thanks!

The photos in My Photo Stream are already stored on at least one of your
devices, so as long as you have the device with your originals, you
won’t lose any photos as part of this process. If a photo you want isn't
already in your library on a particular iPhone, iPad, or Mac, make sure
that you save it to your library on that device.

Apple says: "iCloud Photos is the best way to keep the photos and videos you take up to date across all your devices". I think "the best way" is likely not the only way. What other options are there?

then sync them to your other devices.
