The Rise and Fall of 3M's Floppy Disk
I agree and get your point.
But localsend has worked well for me. Yes, it requires an app but if we could get vendors to bundle that rather than a boatload of bloatware.
I know that it would be to optimistic to hope for Google.

iPhone Copy to PC Shortcut
Edit: This is very simple implementation, even a POC, for personal use between our own devices at home or other personal private network. Even works on hotspot. But no HTTPS, so don's use on non-private networks. LocalSend, as suggested by u/Fede777 seems to be better for every other use.
