You should be able to download a file via any stream wrapper using the system.files route. Fx an url like
http://example.com/system/files/public?file=example.png
You would expect that Drupal would try to find
public://example.png for download.
What happens instead is that Drupal tries to find
private://example.png (it always uses the private stream wrapper.
This should be fixed so the system.files route actually can be used.

It's likely this issue predates Contrib.social: some issue and comment data are missing.
I came across this issue while doing the bugsmash triage.
I notice that issue is still valid.
The route for private file download system.files already takes the stream wrapper argument.
However, it is overriding value to `private`.
So there is no meaning of passing wrapper in the URL although route has the URL.
I believe this would need more discussion about refactoring and proper implementation.
