Android already has support for scoped storage. So it is not clear why Obisidian needs the whole file system permission.

Yes but only later Android versions. If you start supporting those you need to move to the corresponding API level and that means to drop support for older ones. They probably don't want to do that yet. This one is Android 10 and up, and the Android 10 version of scoped storage was quite basic IIRC so you probably want an even later one. I guess they still want to support older phones.
At the cost of much lower data privacy for users.
