I was hoping for files on a disk I can search, not an application specific browser database.

I dream to be able to use the mdn/content repo directly on GitHub. Unfortunately the Markdown links are the "production" site ones and don't work in GitHub. It would be nice to have links that work there and their toolchain (called Yari if I understand well) should translate it when generating the MDN site.

It would allow for easier reuse of the content.

Zeal is great but we should also mention https://kapeli.com/dash because zeal can use the docsets from dash for free, pretty nice i would say, and worth supporting dash if you have a mac.
