There's another obvious example of a document that is often represented as a group of files collected in a directory -- a web page. Admittedly there's nothing that requires web page authors to collect all the files related to a page into a single directory, but it's often the obvious solution and one that is easily handled even by technically unsophisticated people. And Albert can't claim that HTML authors are some rare fringe group like TeX users.
