I often grumble at the lack of usability of the directory hierarchy. Even though I grew up with directories and the FHS. To often I know what file I want but have to navigate an entire filesystem. This is especially true for non native open source Linux tools on macOS. They don't use the native file browser (which is not without its faults either) and often force you to start from root instead of a logical place like your home.
There is really no use to have all files and folders on your fs available for opening or saving in most apps. Often you just need the most recent modified file or only files of a certain type. And there are really not a lot of places it makes sense to save files to outside of your home folder and personal project layout.
