When getting rid of files remember that there will be legacy OSes and media forever.
In my example, that camera is storing pictures on a removable media, maybe FAT32 even in 2050. And there are good reasons for that: I saw mode than one person filling more than one 64 GB SD card with pictures on a 3 weeks journey.
And at the end of the example the machine that prints the calendar might want individual files and reset its state at the end of each print. It can even be a way to resist to attacks that upload malicious pictures.
