If your question is: why can't I just point to the metadata using the UI? the answer is because nobody implemented this. Patches welcome.
If your question is: how could I just point to the metadata? the answer is in my first answer: you need to do it by hand.
Create a file called "calibre-libraries.lua" with the content
Code:
return {
["/path/to/calibre/dir/"] = true
}
and place it in koreader/cache. It will stay as is and will survive updates but you'll need to do the trick again if you perform another scan or clear cache from developers option.
About android being a stupid platform: I agree, the lack of way to programatically retrieve the path of the sdcard is BS and forcing users to use SAF instead of the filesystem API is a PITA.
