Basically it is storage tiering. The operating system and the apps use the faster storage, while for other data, the slower storage is used.
It’s similar to PCs a few years ago that featured a SSD (e.g. 256 GB) and a HDD (e.g. 2 TB).
I don’t know what google is trying to achive, but it’s likely to cut costs and improve battery life. (If my assumption is true that the slower storage is cheaper and uses less energy).

No, that’s not how it works. It will sort and write the data sequentially in zones instead of randomly increasing read and write speeds.
