As such, I was unable to even unlock my phone prior to buying an OTG adapter and a USB-C mouse.

I know it's a security feature, but I can't access my data any other way. While I could transfer some files to an SD card, other android security features prevent me from backing everything up that way and I want to use the Sony Xperia software. this is by far one of the most trivial and stupid processes when using Google's "Download" file manager system when you get the pop up to grant permission, you're taken to the "Download" app, here select your OTG, then make sure your currently viewing the root directory of the OTG, use the drop down menu to go to the OTG root , and you should see a "select" button in text ... Tap this, and that will grant access to the root folder of the OTG, there by granting R/W access to children directories located within the "root folder"
