OTOH your explanation is eminently plausible. A dual desktop/phone seemed like a cool idea to me several years ago, but people would rather just use their phones. Plus, people now use websites/services more than local applications - and services like dropbox have largely solved the rest of the files-anywhere problem.

Maybe if you're removing restrictions for all applications (this may make Android CTS to not pass). However I was mostly thinking of Samsung only giving elevated privileges for DeX, that is completely fine too (even some Google applications have those relaxed restrictions, i.e. Google Play). In this later case I don't see Google disallowing this, because you're not effectively reducing Android security.
- hyperpallium 7y ago> even some Google applications have those relaxed restrictions, i.e. Google Play Google doesn't allow those apps on Google Play (clarifying because it's confusing i.e. you can't get an alternative to google play from google play). While DeX isn't downloaded from Google Play, so that restriction doesn't directly apply; I can well imagine google cracking down on it. Perhaps also on other Play alternatives. But just my imagination - IDK.
