What is the best XDA solution to control Android on the PC & recover data over Wi-Fi when the user suddenly has an unresponsive broken screen?

Every day, all day, I mirror my unrooted Android 12 phone over Wi-Fi (no USB cable is ever needed!) using Vysor & Scrcpy (via adb) and I also mount my entire Android file system (read only for the "/" partition and read/write for the internal and external storage partitions) as a drive letter on Windows over Wi-Fi (again, no USB cable is ever needed)...

• Without physically touching the phone

And yet... every day my heart hurts as I painfully see people trying to access their broken screen Android devices on their PC (most are asking just to recover their files for the most part) and I deeply feel for them, especially as I almost never touch the phone anymore when I'm at my computer as I control the phone over Wi-Fi using only FOSS & free tools such that...

• The phone is controlled over the PC keyboard, mouse & clipboard
  (completely over Wi-Fi - I don't need to touch the phone!)
• The phone storage is the same as the Windows storage
  (completely over Wi-Fi - I don't need to touch the phone!)

If we (the royal we of course), could get that to work whenever someone has a broken screen, that would be a boon to millions upon millions of otherwise very sad Android owners who have unfortunately suddenly broken their screens.

• There but for the grace of God go I

Is there anything we can do to help these millions of people?
Is there a simple solution to allow what we have already, but on a phone whose screen suddenly was destroyed?

I want to state outright that of course I realize that my setup works over Wi-Fi because I set it up ahead of time (well before my screen breaks, knock on wood) where most people who have the broken screen problem did NOT set it up ahead of time.

But what I'm sad about is that a LOT of people have the broken screen problem where I was digging around XDA looking for a solution for them...

My main question for them is HOW can these millions of people with broken screens simply mirror their phone and their file system between Android and their PC... WITHOUT having set it up prior to their screen breaking?

I don't know the best answer to that painful question.
Do you?

Note these hundreds of XDA threads below are all, essentially, the same horrid frustratingly similar painful problem set (AFAICT)...
