A huge drawback to changing this is all of our computing resources are based on a 100+ year old concept of a file cabinet with folders and files. It has a lot of historical traction which you would be attempting to go up against with a different concept.

As long as the code is easy to find and doesn't have similar naming as other code you should be good to organize however you want. If you work on a team then make some decisions as a team on how to organize files. I work with Rails which has an opinionated view on folder/file structure which is great because I don't have to spend time thinking about it and can focus on getting things done.
