Having a cursor to access files is mostly legacy no? The difference between memory and storage is getting very small, e.g. ssds and optane

Not exactly legacy, as SSDs are not completely random access, and disks still exist. But yes, the stream abstraction is losing relevance for files.
But well, if the proposal is to unify everything, you will have to unstream network connections too.
