They don't, but, at least in object-oriented languages, much of overall experience is easy enough to replicate with formal interfaces and coding standards.

I thought the nice thing about Modula-2 was that you could browse through interface files to understand some code and then go into implementations.

It's true, but there are so many ways to skin that cat. Smalltalk, for example, gives an even more fluid way to browse at a high level and then drill in, and it doesn't (necessarily) have source code files in the first place.
