Change has already partially happened since there is no one single filesystem with one behavior.

Not changing impacts many more users (all the future billions) and costs even more: the learning/support/etc. is all there, and it's harder to learn about a buggy system since you have more papercuts

Also, it doesn't break everything, we're not living in a dystopia

This is all true. We should also fix global warming, it's the same kind of problem. Massive investments now or even more massive losses tomorrow.
