why, think know better google's engineers?

android limited small amount of storage system partition, , needed sd card more storage. still, sd card used storage files, not programs (partly fixed in android 2.1).

limitation removed in android 3, had done using sd cards part of system storage. can't unmount them while phone running, can't have them behave usb mass storage.

hence need mtp.

mtp open protocol. linux supports it, not well. mtp has been around long time , plain embarrassing our mtp support terrible.

in short, don't blame google. blame libmtp.
