How do we decide when a rav gets personal time with his family, or spends
more of his evening giving another shiur?

"We" don't. We, as people who want their Torah, make the request, but
the rav decides how to balance his need to teach with the personal life
necessary to maintain some sanity.

Similarly here... Why would we think it's Trachtenberg's decision to make?
"Excuse me, Rav Shemu'el, can I take a picture to share with any of your
talmidim who may be reluctant to get vaccinated? Or is this something you
feel you need to do privately?" Seems simple and obvious enough to me.

Tir'u baTov!
