I agree. I think this is because the file system is very rigid in terms of what you can do with it, especially regarding extending it, and managing it from a higher perspective. It would be very nice to use labels/tags for files and folders. To have a nice index that can be easily viewed, sorted, filtered. The file systems are also very rigid. To create filesystems while computer is running, mounting them around, resizing etc on the fly, this is unthinkable to me with existing file systems, and I have used some.
The lacking of file systems are demonstrated I believe in file formats that are basically file systems themselves. Archive formats come first to mind, and that basically every game I have played grouped its assets into large data files.
