How to disable pesky "save as" dialog (2x) in Acrobat DC?

The issue is that unlike almost every other desktop application under the sun, Acrobat DC's "Menu>File>Save as..." menu (or shortcut) command does not directly take you to a normal, system-UI-based "Save as" dialog. Instead, there is an intermediate dialog that offers to save it in 5 recent "My Computer" folders or in a cloud service. To get to a more normal saving dialog, one has to then click one of those folder paths or click "Choose a different Folder...". This can be irritating if the user is a person who is repeatedly needing to save to just the same local folder.

This, of course, was not the case prior to "DC" Acrobat, and is arguably a poor design for many people who are mostly saving to their local computer (which may be folders that are automatically backed up to a cloud service anyway, so they don't need any extra cloud options to be provided by a particular application).

However, as the dialog was clearly designed to promote use of Adobe's DC and CC cloud services, indeed "this is the design behavior of application" and I don't expect it to change for the better for local-saving users. Note that for the cloud service options (unlike the "My Computer" option), the user immediately sees a file exploring interface -- there's no "recent folders" list with an added click-through necessary to open up a file saving dialog. (However, that  cloud service folder-browsing interface isn't great either -- so far, it lacks the view options, search features, expandable trees, etc. one sees in native file browsing dialogs on desktop OSes.)

Contrast Acrobat DCs approach to the Save As dialog with recent MS Office versions' "Save As" dialog -- in the Office case, there's an "Online Locations" button added to the otherwise standard "Save as..." dialog, that let's you *switch* to a cloud service saving mode.

One oddity is that Acrobat DC (at least in the Mac version I'm using) isn't even consistent on this yet. Thankfully, The "Menu>File>Open..." command brings up a normal system UI Open dialog, but I won't be surprised if that gets changed as well. Even more users would complain about that, however.

As mentioned in the "Acrobat DC SO HORRIBLE it's making me want to cry"  thread, however, if one doesn't need the DC services, one solution for this might be to reinstall XI. However, that's not a solution in perpetuity; that version is no longer officially supported, as mentioned in an Adobe blog post​, and thus won't be getting further functionality, format-handling, or security updates. (The Adobe Support Policies: Supported Product Versions page is seemingly contradictory on this, listing XI Pro both under "Supported Perpetual Products" and in a second table that lists support as having ending on 10/15/2017, but given the clear blog post, the first table seems to be either in error or to be using the words "supported perpetual" to mean something other than their plain English meaning.)
