Yeah, but the legitimate use-case for that permission is VERY narrow - as in, if there's ANY way to implement your use-case using SAF, you MUST use SAF.
And SyncThing can be implemented using SAF - it's "just" a lot of work and that's usually not enough for Play Store to grant exception.
I see, thanks so much for elaborating!

What about I/O performance? I would expect SAF to come with some overhead that might not make it a good solution for a file syncing application.
