People don't know what files and folders are anymore.

Ask a non-tech person where they JUST downloaded something to... they can't tell you.

Nobody really bothers to change the default though, so it only really matters if they later try to find the file without using their web browser. And if they do try to do that, "Downloads" is a pretty obvious place to look.

On ~~my Android phone~~ the Android phone I have, I find it hard to tell where the stuff I downloaded is.
Until I connect it to the computer and see the directory structure easily.

The Files app seems to be trying to do some kind of Abstraction over here.
