Transmit is a file transfer app; it's used to get access to existing files on your own Google Drive without installing Google Drive's native app. Limiting it to a subfolder would defeat what I believe to be the most common use case.

It’d depend on what exactly you’re using it for - as an example, if you’re backing something up regularly that’d be fine.

The main thing I was thinking would be beneficial is getting user confirmation at better than the whole drive level. I think Google is trying to prevent cases where a third-party stores tokens on their servers which are breached, and in that kind of scenario it could be useful to push for scoping so e.g. if iA were breached the attacker could get your screenplay draft but not the folder where you backup your password manager or financial data.
