Paths are strings (even for the os). On Unix, paths are bytestrings, not strings

Yep.

(in Python 3, string = Unicode string),

Do you mean str? When reading the docs, let's say: https://docs.python.org/3.5/library/stdtypes.html and search for "string" you find a lot of places where "string" is used and both "str" and "bytes" are working. ;-)

but on Windows they are Unicode strings. Having an abstraction over this OS difference is useful.

Indeed true. Best, Sven
