You greybeard wannabes all have a serious problem: you think tech is made for you and for you alone.

Once computers became accessible beyond the hobbyist, enthusiast or professional it became a necessity to guarantee that those people that click on anything they are told to click cannot break their computers simply working the file explorar app.

It’s not a bug. It’s a feature.

You can still do whatever you want with your file system. Except that if you want to break into it and mess with it, you have to actually know what you are doing.

People who were not hobbyists learned to use computers, in large numbers, so I don't think your conclusion is accurate. Anyone can learn this stuff with a bare minimum of effort.
