Which reduces to one single dimension anyway, on a storage medium: my bytes are stored from offset 0 to offset N.

  That's a bit reductive.

    Maybe for some. For most uses though, people just want to write data to and read it from the storage media. They don't want to think about the coordinates their data was written to on the DVD.

  The fact that spaces of different dimensionality can be put into a bijective map does not mean that dimensionality is not real or useful.

  Yes, the dimensions are an abstraction to make it easier for our human brains to organize certain collections of data. I don't think it makes them any less valid, otherwise we would refer to every data type as an array of bits and nothing more.
