Either googles solution is better or its not. If it is then google should make it the default even if it provides an option. Then even if they provide the option 99.999% will use the default rendering the option basically worthless. If its not they should probably just work how everyone else works.
If you use that approach on everything then you admittedly get clean and easy to understand configuration, but you also reduce the usefulness of your app and make some of your regular users very unhappy... I stopped using Ubuntu recently for exactly that reason, too many options were cut and hidden away from GUI, and just defaults enforced on you, to the point that Windows Explorer is now far more powerful and custom…
Its super trivial to bind hotkeys to shell functions that operate on the current directory or files or whatever. I know that some of this can be done with custom actions but its nice to be able to a) bind keys not just provide a context menu item and b) create a custom command with a few clicks.
Example something like autojump or what have you is a common tool for shell users. Its nice to bind a key to pop up a prompt key in a string and have this jump to a directory in your file manager using the same source of info as autojump.
This took like 30 seconds to figure out and set up.
Another example a hotkey show a thumbnail gallery of every image recursively below current dir.
