That's like piling all your paperwork on your office desk in a giant tower in the order they came in and arguing that's just as good as sorting them into files and putting them in the cabinet.
There was a legend I heard of in an engineering office. There was an engineer at this company I worked at, long before I was there. On the first day of work, he created his first file, file 000001. He pulled out a notebook, and wrote the file number and the document title. Later that day, he moved on to file 000002. And so he continued. For many years, one document after another, all in sequential order. No one ever bothered to inquire about his numbering system. He simply sent files off when needed, renaming as necessary. No one ever needed to poke through his work computer. Then, one day, he got laid off in a company downsizing.. He simply took the notebook with him, took it home, and burned it.

This is a real problem with young people coming into the office. They don't know how to navigate a file system. They've never had to do it.
No, it's a file system issue. It randomly makes folders and decides where to put things. A photo could be in the dcim folder, a photos folder on my outside card or a photos. It may or may not be in recents.

I find it funny that there's a bunch of people here who know how to use android's file system. Like, of course the Linux nerds figured out how to use it (and I love you all the more for it)
It's one of the most frustrating things ever. Anyone acting like navigating Android's files is anything similar to navigating any desktop computer's files needs some perspective. "You said this is difficult, but for me it's easy, therefore it's actually easy."

Firefox: oh you just saved 3 files to a folder, allow me to save the next one to a folder you haven't downloaded anything to in months.
Thank the allmaker for KDE recent files.

That's an interesting point about OneDrive automatically backing up folders. It reminds me of the time I was messing around with a weird game concept, something like a chicken jockey clicker, and I accidentally saved all the game files to a cloud folder without realizing it. Took forever to sort out the mess.
