So a stat like xGF is better by a good margin than shot attempts because it does bring quality and location into play.

You missed my point.
A high danger chance occurs off a pass or deflection or rebound, but it is still subject to quality. Some teams will do a better job of rushing or pressuring those opportunities than others will.
More tightly defining the chances does nothing for accounting for the quality differentials within those definitions.
