> People at companies like Apple have gone to such great lengths to hide the complexity--and limit the ways of composition--of software that, at best, "Files" is just a sort of confusing app you might sometimes get forced to use only if you have no other reasonable option

In my kid's mind (and in the mind of her peers in middle school), if you have to open up the Files app to solve a problem, or Windows Explorer, that's seen as dark wizardry that only hardcore computer fixers do. Kind of like how the command line was thought of 20 years ago: Only sorcerers use the command line! Well, now, only sorcerers browse their hard drive for files.
