   Why isn't it practical? Scoped storage did add some restrictions, such as making the external root directory (either sdcard or emulated) an non-writable path, but apps can still write to the predefined folders such as external Pictures, Audio, etc.
   
   You can also read files from external storage that was written by the app. Reading files written by other apps still requires the `READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE` permission, which cordova-plugin-file handles.
