    Folders, or directories, really, may not be worthwhile, but when you have more than fifteen files, they’re quite convenient.

        In that case you’re left with applications implementing it, and hoping for something homogeneous. Which may or may not happen.
        I wouldn’t trust it.

          sounds like a you problem. if you think longer on it maybe you’ll come up with the obvious layer to implement it at that isn’t the kernel.

              See desktop portals, and desktop environments you dont need to use the kernel for the folder structure. And shared implantations for adding them in are fairly trivial.

                I think you’re confusing user interfaces and API structures there.

                Also file systems don’t have to be in the kernel. User space file systems are a thing and work fine.
