It bears keeping in mind that the traditional folders and documents desktop model is in no way fundamental or universal; its just one mode of computing that was popular in the turn of the century and steeply waning these days.
And its not just phones where the change is happening. Cloud services and other saas have had at least as much if not more influence here. And of course in enterprises people have been using all sorts of weird internal software, erps and crms etc, that might also not been very document oriented. And its not just modern time thing too, for more historical viewpoint you could look at mainframes (IBM big iron etc) which had all sorts of data store models, both from system and end-user viewpoints.
