"Don't worry your pretty little head about where we store the files."

It's just a different type/style of abstraction that may not be suited to you!

All file systems essentially hide the nasty details of where and how files are stored (which inode does it start at, is it fragmented across multiple sectors, which physical device?).

From a UX point of view there is a lot to be said for not treating every single file in exactly the same way.

I'm sure it's an approach that will get more and more prevalent in future (context relevant functionality for the types of files you're currently interacting with/managing).
