It is absolutely maddening that I cannot see files on my own phone.

And very very very few devices still allow getting around this. Often at a cost of significantly degraded experience, as Magisk plays the cat and mouse game of trying to hide your illegal access privileges to your own devices from your bank or some random app that decide to throw a Play Integrity check in.

Tip of the anti-personal computing spear, a complete denial of the user agency. Absolutely wretchedly forsaken.
