> He just never had any interest in learning about things like file systems and so forth. Most people (especially today in 2020) don't know what a file is. And that's okay, or great even. A filesystem is a leap yet beyond that. Apple takes great pains to hide the filesystem from the user in iOS. And that was probably a really, really good move. They have the freedom to change how the internals of devices use files and may have gotten some security benefit as well. Mobile computing provided a great opportunity to enable some cool tech that breaks backwards compatibility. Like signed bootloaders, indexed-database-as-filesystem, permissions/capabilities. All of these were available on desktop OSs but haven't found a wide audience. Or hadn't, until much more recently. Sorry- bit of a tangent there. Point being: way back when, in order to be productive with a computer you had to know more about its design. But today, many things "just work" without need to understand how/why.
