For the overwhelming majority of users, the file system is a confusing implementation detail that often breaks something when they're forced or tricked into directly interacting with it.

This is not my experience with Windows users. Tree hierarchies are very natural for us humans.

My experience is the opposite.

Try asking an elderly user of an Android phone where the attachments from gmail they have tried to save are stored in.

I think they'd cope a lot better with a standard folder/file hierarchy as opposed to saving into a folder/file hierarchy but never at any point telling the user where in the hierarchy they saved to!

And every app saves to a different location. I've been using computers my entire life and I generally have to resort to a file manager to find what I'm looking for.
