Not sure, could be that Elixir stuck close to Erlang's module system yeah.

But for example gleam [1] is another language on the BEAM (compiles to Erlang), that has a much nicer approach: All imports must be declared explicitly, and the import path in your local project is based on the file structure so you always know where something is imported from [2].
