Android has ways for app devs to specify where files get saved. App devs just usually don't give a shit, because they want to write a single lowest common codebase for android and iOS.

Developers not bothering with Android features because they don't exist on iOS is both infuriating and gives me IE6 era vibes.

IE6 era vibes

But… this is a nearly opposite situation, no? Microsoft added a bunch of their own shit with no attempt at standardization, and instead of simply not using those features, a ton of websites started making IE a hard requirement.
