Using a memory card / sdcard / Android applications
Friends, fans of green robots, application developers, just users:
How do you use a memory card / sdcard / in your Android device?
Consider, for a start, this question on the example of the majority of ordinary users of the device running the Android OS:
Like many, I install applications on a memory card - to save space in the phone itself, but the applications themselves, their caches, etc. - all this is saved right to the root of the memory card, in the end I get a complete "mess" on the card:
a huge number of folders, etc. among which it is rather inconvenient (both through FM and when connected to a PC) to look for the files, folders, etc. I need. It is clear that you can do with crutches and, for example, add my folders to the “favorites” in the same FM, etc., but the question is different.
Why initially most applications are installed on a memory card like this:
')
not like this:
or, for example, like this:
or so:
or at worst - there is a hidden system
(it is clear that there is not always access there, etc., but still)
In summary: what does the user get?
The average user installs a lot of applications and, often, to save space, moves them to a memory card. Everything is good, but until the moment when we suddenly needed to find our own documents on the memory card, here we connect the device from the PC in memory card mode or via the FM smartphone we go here: / sdcard /
And what do we see?
Yes, that's what:

Epic Fail ...
It begs the logical question: why is that?
As I understand it, there are two reasons:
1) it is google itself, or rather its policy regarding this aspect, that is, the actions of software developers are not limited in any way (the same condition of publishing a program on the market, etc.)
2) software developers who write software, often creating a mass of folders in the root / sdcard /
Well, for the sake of curiosity, we will use our favorite search:

For example, there is a standard for developing Android applications.
from which it clearly follows:

Etc.
I do not have any complaints to developers or even to anyone.
Just want to ask two questions:
1) Why so? Why is everything “falling” into the root of a memory card?
2) Is it one damn uncomfortable for me?
Thanks for attention!
PS: in the meantime, users just give out masterpiece methods to facilitate the use of a memory card:
