If it's an Android version specific limitation of chooser behaviour then I'm all ears, and I'll definitely go back and test on some old versions now. but there is nothing in the doco to suggest that.
As stated before, my use case is that I want to share text/plain and have all relevant Activities available to respond, including my own Activity. But I don't want my own Activity to be able to respond to text/plain shared from another app. Hence why android:exported=false sounds like the perfect solution.
