This does make sense and I'll be honest this is pretty much how my mom prepped it for me when I was a kid. When she grew up (she's Carribean) she would just straight up grab one from the tree outside her house, slice open the top a bit and squeeze the mango almost into chunks inside the peel and would use it like it's own container.

Nowadays I do try to slice it up and remove the peel, but I'll be completely honest I always make a damn mess of it

Haha try it this way, it's not too messy. But it does depend on how juicy the mango is. Do it on the kitchen counter so that you don't make a mess somewhere else. And use a sharp knife I guess.
