I remember running into this issue recently, and I swear I did the same DuckDuckGo search as you did, but turned up entirely blank in terms of connecting my phone to a computer before going to the repair shop.
Either that or I tried the suggested remedies and came up blank, which seems highly likely, and still seems like various people could run into, even if they had the technological acumen to follow the instructions you found
With a USB cable and your phone manufactures backup software installed on your computer, as recommended by your manufacturer?
But seriously, this may not always be an option. And you have to decide if you want to risk giving it to Jimmy in that state. But keep in mind that you do, Jimmy is taking a copy of those bikini pics. And you probably don’t want to know what he plans to do with them.
Having USB debugging on with your computer authorised, so that you can scrcpy into it. I think this is a viable solution.
The other one is buying a device durable enough to not break display and touch, and putting a good armour case and screen protector on it. Even if the display were to crack, atleast you could give some input to get it connected to computer.
How do you back up your phone if the screen is cracked and input has stopped working?
Oh man, if only there was some way to answer that question using the exact thing you typed.

Snarky or not, you’re totally right.

You don’t. You back things up before they break. Then when they break, you have backups for recovery.
Just stating the obvious, in a vain hope that it would get someone to start, improve, or test, or even just think about their backups.
