Material files is best in my experience.
Same, I like this one a lot.
Maybe, I just dont like the endless list of permissions it needs..
Uhm...
Just "manage all files" because it is... a file Manager
Do you really want an explanation?
Android permissions are confusing though, I already asked GrapheneOS devs to add more granular permissions but it turned out its not needed.
Internet permissions suck, but needed for remote SMB shares etc.
All the file access is of course because it is a filemanager, same as with "query all apps"
Foreground app and wakelock are to prevent Android killing stuff like Archive actions I guess, so it is necessary.
But really ask the dev about that
