Bingo! A file sent out creates a specific paper trail and accountability for all parties. If I want to make sure there’s a record of me sending documentation to someone, I’m not relying on giving them write permission to the critical piece of text… this isn’t even about distrust but about clarity for all parties in the file transfer.

Access logs do the same thing. You can see when access was granted, a notification sent, and when/if they accessed it
Access logs + maintaining backups + version control + relying on the hope that no one’s cat runs on their backspace key during the session where access control says they logged in … that’s the stack you’re recommending vs sharing a file in an email and saying “have a nice day”.
