Abstracting away the filesystem works great if all the software you use does provide you a way to get to it anyway (like iTunes does) if you really want it. However a lot of software doesn't provide that.
For example, on my S60 phone, the file system is pretty much hidden from the user. You just save your notes\contacts\pdfs\mp3s and the programs know where to put them and how to retrieve them. But try saving a python script as a note and then trying to get Python to execute it on your phone. Oops, no way to find out where that damn file is saved.
