You sort of answered your own question.

When you connect to a remote file system, the software handles some of the issues. (slashes wrong way, spaces, illegal characters...)
The native file system is still the same. A Calibre library can be copied (not converted) to another OS because Kovid and crew took pains to remove potential roadblocks.

BTW Windows still can't even read my ETX3 partition (the only driver I found has trouble with too many inodes) on this computer. If it was simple, this would not be an issue
