<<This clearly implies that portions can be OGC and portions can be not-OGC,
commonly known as "Closed content". The PI designation is merely a
convenience that allows authors to use things within an open chapter without
making them open.

No, it makes no implication at all, other than that your OGC must be clearly marked. It's an agnostic declaration. It's to show that you haven't accidentally opened up things you haven't intended to open.
If you have PI and OGC, and I tell you to clearly mark both, I don't think that suggest some mystic third content.
And moreover, in a compiled work, legally things like art may be a separate work, but physically they may appear side by side with OGC and PI (which are a separate sub-work in the compilation).
So, marking OGC and PI allows for the inclusion of art and the licensure of a sub-work within a compiled work.
<<>The license explicitly says that OGC means the covered work is OGC except

No it doesn't. It doesn't say that anywhere.

Open Game Content" ...means any work covered by this License, ... but specifically excludes Product Identity.
Yes it does. If there was no Product identity, the sentence would read:
"OGC means... any work covered by this license"
