The solution is anything that says, "this file system is mine, I'm responsible for it, if you want a file, just ask."

Like ADB, FTP, heck, even MTP is better.
I've not seen any devices use MTP in years, but it was a horrible disaster, I don't see how you could advocate for that as being better.

For the use case of putting books on an ereader, music on a music player, or photos on a digital photo frame (do those even exist anymore?), mounting the filesystem and copying the files seems perfectly reasonable to me, anything more complex than that requires complex standards that cannot keep up with changes to file formats and device capabilities.
