That pretty much matches my experience. Single file picker flows can often be implemented with a simple callback.
But for folders it falls apart.
Thanks for mentioning scoped storage. Maybe that provides some sort of solution. I vaguely remember when I was first dealing with this circa 2021 that they had some sort of a low-performance solution that was supposed to work for NDK code.
