Ha, even eth0 is a file! You can open a network connection by opening this file! Erm... no, that doesn't work.
Then a process! You spawn a process by opening a file! Erm... again, no.
You want me to continue?

In 9front you can. You can even import /net from another machine.

That's true, nothing stops you, though it is worth noting that no one actually does this, and there's a reason for that. So suppose you did this; how are you going to use that in a makefile?
Says who? Nothing stops you from creating an interface that maps that row to a file.
That's the whole point of Unix.
Heck, look at the /proc filesystem tree. Even cpu sensor data is available as a file.
