People also shouldn't use the razor for cutting grass. It's sadly true that you need to learn how to use your tools and every tool needs some learning to use efficiently. That's the nature of things.
I do agree though that filesystems are not the most user friendly abstraction of data. Maybe we can do better than that.
But also filesystems have the huge advantage that they are somewhat user friendly while also being somewhat technology friendly. Therefore I'm also not too mad about their existence. There are a lot of end user problems that can be solved quickly exactly because they just need a professional one time query and FS+bash+clis are such a good combo to craft that query.
