Updated Object Capure -- needs LiDAR?

I have two apps released -- ReefScan and ReefBuild -- that are based on the WWDC21 sample photogrammetry apps for iOS and MacOS. Those run fine without LiDAR and are used mostly for underwater models where LiDAR does not work at all. It now appears that the updated photogrammetry session requires LiDAR data, and building my app on current xcode results in a non-working app. Has the "old" version of photgrammetry session been broken by this update? It worked very well previously so I would hate to see this regression to needing LiDAR. Most of my users do not have that.

There seems to be another major change to photogrammetry session. The OBJ format is no longer supported as an output, only USDZ. What is going on with this code? It's gone from being very useful to not useful at all.
