I think the reason people have problems grasping that is because that's not how it works; it's not a black box, it's a transparent one. A truly black box would be keeping the files as binary blobs in the database.

It's also not how, say, music library software works. Yes, software like iTunes can keep your files organized on disk, but it doesn't force you to like Calibre does.
