Just calling Player.Open on a directory does not work properly in case of images mixed with videos (this is how my usual vacation material is). In such case all files are added to the video playlist and all pictures are skipped until a video is reached. Pictures want a different type of command with the parameters "path", "random" and "recursive". But this only works for pictures. So we have the next special cases and I cannot tell, if this behaves same for all the supported Kodi versions ... Not sure yet if I really want to go there as there is a clear risk of regressions which will be hard to track down for older Kodi versions.
As there was never put so much love into the picture and slideshow functions as for movies and tv shows, I really cannot imagine that anyone changed or updated anything in this area in Kodi during the last decade…
So the risk of unwanted or unexpected regression is imho quite low. What do you think?
