Opening one connection per interface is still a violation of TCP design. Look into MPTCP RFCs. It is specifically designed to use multiple connections as if you had only one. Developers of the standard made sure you don't have any advantage compared to someone using only one connection.
Two connections over two different interfaces will meet somewhere on the bottleneck near the mirror so you still have the advantage of multiple TCP connections.
Sure MPTCP is not ready yet, but multipath QUIC will be deployed by the end of this year so all your Chrome downloads from google drive will utilize multiple connections.
