No it doesn't and that's one of the flaws. It basically tells you if you are creating quality chances or not, whether you are restricting quality chances against you, and whether your players are scoring the chances at a rate that is 'normal' based on historical data.
I don't think it is strictly a flaw, just a limitation of sorts to be aware of - if you go through a season and a substantial number of your best shooting chances are falling to a CB who keeps skying it over the bar, then clearly you have a tactical issue to fix that xG is showing
Or you’d sign a better finisher to get into the same positions as the centre back did and play similar
Most players finish at or around xG, even defenders. It is not primarily a test of how good someone is at finishing.
My point stands in reply to the particular scenario I replied to
