No not really, that would be pretty confusing. One does not expect to have to manually whitelist folders after creating them on the device.

2. Why does the SD Card now appear as main on "Device" Column and Send to Device? Selecting Card A fails.
No idea, honestly this part of the code has probably bit rotted. Devices with multiple storages are rare nowadays and I personally dont possess a single such device to test things with.

3. Is it a bug you can only change scanned folders on the SD Card OR Internal Storage, but not both at the same time? Was it always like that?
Probably is a bug, but see above about the bitrot. This needs someone with such hardware to step up and maintain the code paths.
