And scanning still sucks. A lot. Like - a crazy amount. Why is scanning to a USB drive still the most convenient way to get a file larger than the email limit to my computer?

Honest question: what about scanning to WebDAV/Nextcloud/SMB-Share/Paperless-NGX?

    Manufacturers seem to have by and large decided that those features are reserved for professional office units priced at >$400, and for everything that can't scan directly to network drive without a computer you can only operate the machine directly (ie pushing the buttons on the machine) if you have Windows or Mac. Linux users must use a desktop app, browser interface, or smartphone app.

    It's ten times easier to take a picture and crop it tbh

    That is going to be absolutely far worse quality than a scan.

    Sure if it's a working high quality scanner, but with the phone cameras nowadays it's pretty close to perfect. I submit government docs like that all the time, never had any problem, if i give it Claude it digitizes perfectly in one shot.

    I get it, it'd be nice if there was a simple scanning standard that worked, but it's not worth all the fuss scanners require today.
