Normally, when I click a .mcaddon file on Windows 10, it opens up Minecraft. But in Android, we have to paste it on a hidden folder? Why not just click on it and just import it in Minecraft. This is a bug for convenience. Thank You.

I believe this is already a feature in bedrock edition. Because in the windows 10 bedrock edition, I can click on a file that has an extension of .mcaddon. please reopen the issue. Devs just forgot to integrate it on the android side. Thanks.
Thank you for your report!
However, this issue is Working as Intended.
The report you have submitted is working as intended: We cannot do anything about third party file explorers that don't support launching applications with files that have matching extensions. You can try importing the files through other file explorers (e.g. CX File Explorer should be able to do this).
Please note, that mechanics of the game may change between updates.
Things such as graphics, sounds, world creation, biomes, redstone, villagers, and animals may not work the same in current versions.

Can "confirm" in "all" "recent" versions.
Third-party file explorers (usually) won't work unless that file explorer is specifically designed to copy .mcaddon .mcpack & .mcworld files to game folder or ""force" trigger" import function.
When installing Minecraft, the game should give default file explorer that comes with OS some info that "I can open these type of files, so use this command parameter", right? Even if it's related to sideloading, this should be fixed. (don't argue if its the case, Play Store won't let me buy MC even if I had money, which I don't have)
Also Google is forcing apps to use its own directory, which makes importing packs more hassle.
(those quote-unquotes are kinda intentional, because English "are" not my native language)
Expected result:
When installing Minecraft, file explorers recognizes .mcpack, .mcaddon, .mcworld file extensions as open-able by Minecraft. Opening these files trigger importing.
Observed result:
File explorers have no idea that Minecraft can open .mcpack, .mcaddon, .mcworld files, recommends searching for apps that can open these files from Play Store.
