I used to balk at this, but after much thought, it actually makes sense. Phones, tablets, and much of the user experience with personal computers is very far removed from file management these days (if you can even do that on your phone).

Back before 2010, we could conflate the idea of "computer owner" with "computer literate". And even for smart phones of the time, that was mostly true. Now, not so much.

People need to go back to rooting phones. /storage/emulated/0 is basically /home/user

In principle I agree. In practice, no.

Personally, I don't have the energy to keep hacking my phone after each security update from the manufacturer. And you kinda/sorta need those.

Now, if there was a way to steamroll over the native OS for a Pixel or iPhone with something free that's also current and well maintained, that would be better. At least that way I could have full control and use the hardware until the battery is well and truly dead.
