People have had trouble with hierarchical file systems since day one. I distinctly remember being the 20 something Gen-Xer tasked with teaching boomers computers, and a large percentage just never understood why you'd want to put a folder inside a folder inside a folder. They would never do that in their filing cabinet, after all! Or why you would want to put a folder anywhere else besides the desktop since they would lose it. These people have had desktops that look like this[1] since the 90s.
