At one point, there was beta and vhs video players and recorders. Only one survived.
And major companies have gone away. Just look over the history of computing. DEC and Cray are mostly gone. Some major personal computer companies have vanished.
I do think that the more expensive ereaders that have few formats available to them, or don't have a good system for navigation, might fall by the wayside. ( I don't mention touch screens as I don't like them. I kow some folks enjoy them. Use whatever you prefer. )
From what I have read, a version of linux lite is used for the operating systems of ereaders. Linux has folders builtin, just like most computer operating systems that showed up after the 1980s. But some ereaders don't have folders.
I have no idea why they don't have folders. I'm not on their design teams, but as a long time computer tech, I think they should have waited until after they implemented folders, bookmarks, etc. Maybe their marketing demanded something be shipped for the holiday shipping season ? I don't know.
