Filesystem paths are in fact strings on all operating systems I'm aware of. And it's no accident or performance optimization. It's good design.
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).
