How about putting all app data in storage0 so it can be easily backed up. The thing I care about most if my phone is stolen is being able to build a new one and not have to spend the next day reconfiguring every damned app.

well the whole point of android is to isolate data between apps. that includes your file explorer app.
still crazy how there's no way to do unencrypted backups from data partition anymore though. the adb backups are deprecated and even though the command still exists it seems broken on android 13 and 14

You can backup Android completely but only certain manufacturers allow it. Like Samsung & pixel has it
