@i currently a pixel 6 pro and fedora, but it's been like this across 6 different distros and 4 different laptops and 3 different mainstream phones all intermingled over the course of 10 years. Same bug happens every time. Even the slightest interruption (or trying to cancel something like a copy operation that went off the rails) will cause the connection to become completely inoperable until both the computer and phone are restarted. Every time I have to hook up my phone to transfer files it's a nightmare that should have taken 5 minutes at most.

I had the same feedback ("you're just doing it wrong bro") when I tried to tell people that dolphin couldn't copy files correctly and they only started admitting that after it got fixed (?) so you'll excuse my skepticism
