Isn't that simply because filesystems aren't object orientated?  I  
can't call methods of a path through the filesystem.  There's a  
difference between a path, which is, yes, always (?) a string, and a  
Path object that provides convenient methods/properties.

(Maybe one of the experimental object-orientated file systems has non- 
string paths.  I have no idea).
