It's crap. Picasaweb allowed you to share your entire gallery. Anyone just had to type in your ID after the picasaweb URL, or go to that one permanent link, and they'd see all the albums you'd marked "public."

Google Photos doesn't work this way. It does allow you to a generate long, cryptic URL for each album or photo. You can share those by sending around e-mails or texts that people can click on. But you need to do this for each new album (or photo) you want to share. Your friends and family can't just keep one bookmark and go back to it when they want to see what's new.

What Google really wants is to have everyone you know sign up for their social media "experience" and share photos that way. No thanks.
Exactly my experience as well. Picasa was a great storage/management/sharing tool that google turned into a lumbering piece of garbage.
