Which OS? For all its flaws (and there are many related to this issue, like overzealous hiding), macOS lets me add ~ as a 'Favourite' which then shows up in file choosers as well as the main file browser app.
It takes me a minimum of 60 seconds to naviate to ~ using the GUI on my work laptop.
(Partially because the dialog box sucks, and partially because I only do that once every 6 months or so.)
It's like some UI designer didn't understand folders, then somehow forced their brain damaged mental model of them on the rest of the population. After that, for some reason I will never understand, the rest of the industry copied the design.
(I've worked on filesystem implementations, tested for POSIX compliance, debugged insane customer issues, etc, etc. I know how directories work...)
