Oh come on. How can you seriously say that? I think what you mean is “smartphones hide the underlying file system, regardless of platform.”

Android has always had a file manager and doesn't hide the filesystem from tools like adb. You still can't access the OS files and app private storage but when you download a file you can actually choose where to save it :)

IOS hides it a lot more. There wasn't even a file manager until they introduced one with iPadOS.

Nah it is an Apple ethos. I remember the first time looking at a browser on a friends computer and asking what the URL was and he just said {domain}.com. And I'm wondering what the full URL is and apparently that is hidden from users? Blew my mind. So yeah.
