This is part of a slowly growing phenomenon. As a professor I started noticing this general trend awhile ago, when file types starting being obscured. Students had trouble opening and moving files around because they didn't understand the concept of a filetype. They just expected to click on a file and have it open in the "correct" software. So they'd try to do that, and it would open in the wrong program, and then they'd save it, in the wrong format, and then everything would get corrupted across nesting dolls of attempting different programs to open increasingly frankenstein files. It was confusing to me at first, but then I realized most OSs by default hide filetypes. This stuff with cloud software, automatic saves, tags, etc was just the next step. People complain about loss of terminal/shell UI but I do think this is all a good example of how maybe things are getting too far away from what's going on under the hood. I wouldn't believe it either except I've had to deal with it firsthand.
