Two examples that recently bothered me: * I can't grant an application permission to read and store files in existing folders. This means I can't store file transfers through KDE connect in my Downloads or Documents folder. * I can't access the Android/ folder without a PC at hand. This means I'm unable to mod Android games without my laptop. Not a big deal - but it's still frustrating.
4 years ago, there would have been zero friction for these use cases.

That's not true at all though, `ACTION_OPEN_DOCUMENT_TREE` gives app permanent access to shared directory using the file chooser dialog. It needs no extra privileges or permissions outside user choice of dir.
It opens a directory picker, which then says for some directories that you can't use them and must create a more specific directory.
