Cynical take: it puts Google Drive on a level playing-field with local storage (by making the local storage experience awful).

You're nearly correct, actually. In addition to security, SAF was supposed to provide a consistent interface to access files from various sources, including network sources, not just the local filesystem. Unfortunately the implementation just kind of sucks.

That sounds right, I would have implemented google drive as a filesystem driver, but I am not google so what do I know.
