I'll ask another naive question...

I understand "file://" URLs. "file:///home/user/bar.txt" is an example.

Can you give some examples of "filesystem://" URLs? Do they look like
"filesystem:///home/user/bar.txt" or
"filesystem://example.domain/foo/bar.txt" or something else? Do these
URLs look different for Android versus Desktop? Do they look different
for Browser App versus Web View?

Your "Here's" link points to
https://www.iana.org/assignments/uri-schemes/historic/filesystem which
doesn't give an example, nor does the
https://www.w3.org/TR/file-system-api/ or
http://www.html5rocks.com/en/tutorials/file/filesystem/ (which
redirects to https://web.dev/read-files/) links from its references.

pwnall@ later linked to
https://dev.w3.org/2009/dap/file-system/file-dir-sys.html and
https://wicg.github.io/file-system-access/ and the only example URL is
"Proposal currently under discussion: Use a format such as
filesystem:http://example.domain/persistent-or-temporary/path/to/file.html";
but even if it's more than a proposal, I'm not sure if that's a legit
URL if it doesn't have a double-slash after the first colon.
