Is there a reason why Android phones don't allow access to internal storage by default, perhaps by a switch in the Developer menu?

Just USB. You can access some storage, but not all, by default. Accessing all the files requires rooting the device (AFAICT).

i think it's to prevnt users from accidently messing up with system with just a flick of switch. with root you're quite aware of risks

But there is an entire Developer menu system that you can enable, and it has things that are pretty dangerous...

It doesn't make a lot of sense to me why "Allow all files to be accessed from USB" isn't one of the Developer options.

"root device" is one of the developer options though. Does "allow root over ADB" work?
