Followup on How has USB File Transfer changed in Android changed over the years?

I've learned that Android 4.3 and later versions don't have this feature because Micro$oft.

Newer options, Media device (MTP) or Camera (PTP) mode, are horrendous.

It also causes other issues for (Windows) programs that relied on android having USB Mass Storage Mode.

Off hand reasons why MTP is awful.

1. Can't copy more than one thing at a time. (Device is busy warning)
2. Warnings that I need to convert files before copying every single time.
3. Just seems to be a lot slower at copying files.
4. Can't edit files on the phone from Windows.

So, how an you enable USB Mass Storage Mode on newer versions of Android?

Let's say I'm rooted and can install a custom iso if that makes a difference.

I've tried searching google, the app store, and xda forums for solutions.
