It's difficult to extrapolate that from two samples, one of them being a counter-example (there is LTR japanese text in that first picture that gets rotated to vertical).
the first is not a sample, it was just a food picture Google rotated that was on the page. in my experience Google is pretty good with realizing when text is incidental
Also, uh, that is not a counterexample, that is LTR horizontal japanese text, rotating it does not give you vertical text it gives you rotated horizontal text
ML works in mysterious ways, but given the amount of pictures I have with vertical japanese writing that don't get rotated (even when the rest is ambiguous), I would expect the mistake to not come from text.
