I believe you missed half the article, as well as the main point: that trying to hide implementation details too much from the API consumers is not generally a good thing, and that's regardless of the system it's running on.

I'm not sure you can call it "miss" if the article tries to hide its thesis as well as this one. After you keep going about file API and windows for pages and pages, you may insist all you like that "the point is coming", but I'm sorry, I won't believe you.
