I don't see anything inherently wrong with an open protocol like MTP.

I don't know MTP at all, but

   MTP allows no parallelism; unlike USB mass storage, MTP has been
   built to only allow a single operation at a time (for example, read,
   write or delete operation), while no other operation can be executed
   until the previous operation is complete.
