Fundamentally it's a judgement call for the archaeologists as to whether the tomb is in good enough condition and the photographers are trustworthy enough.
Look at the video, it is ridiculous. People are walking on each other feet there.

The flashes alone should be a concern. That's also not a good way to get a good photograph. They should know better.
You'd expect and perhaps understand this happening at a celebrity gathering. But it is not like the statues are going to bust a move soon here.
Fingers crossed this was a one-off, I guess.
I doubt that a day of journalists making pics would have any measurable effect. It’s more a problem if hordes of tourists take pics every day.
