Your files are in a magic place, directories don't actually exist they're a hierarchy we developed to meet the traditional concepts of a 20th century office. Tags and searching are just as valid.

Yes but under the hood, IOS is using a filesystem. Hiding helpful details is not the same as simply being a different way to use a computer. One actively makes the computer harder to use.

Though I agree with you partially there, I still think there should be options for users to access their data easily. Last time I tried getting my chat backups out of an iPhone was a nightmare

I can remember where I put shit faster and more easily than I can remember arbitrary names, tags, or my own typos. But if you put all the documents in a fucking folder I can find that AND IT CAN STILL BE TAGGED AND SEACHED FOR. The problem comes from business environments using technology that isn't a fucking iPhone and then I'm having to teach a 25 year old how to use a USB drive. And that's not an exaggeration, I literally had to do that today.
