I don't agree that it "seems to be the opposite of the way it is designed." ; Mike is just providing us with flexibility in how we use MSP.
Personally, I only have MSP on my Android tablet and I perform all file creation/editing on my Win10 desktop. I only transfer copies of the files to the tablet once I am happy that they are as I want . Should the need arise, I rework the original file on the desktop, convert to pdf and replace the "improved/corrected" file onto the tablet. I use the companion to transfer the files to the desktop i.e. I'm not using my own directory structures on the tablet.
As well as keeping the original files on the desktop, I use the companion to backup the tablet database and files onto the desktop.
I find the companion works well for me but, should you need them, Mike has also provided several other ways of transferring files to the tablet.
I typically use the tablet when I want to practice completed songs. Whilst I could use the original desktop file, using the tablet gives me confidence that it will do what I want at a live performance (remember them?).
Some users have windows laptops/tablets so it is obvious which version to get. As you have an Android tablet, I suggest you get that version as you don't need the windows version at this point (you can always buy it later should you decide you need/want it). In future years, you might also want to buy the Mac version (highly unlikely in my case).
