They still (mostly) aren't.

From an user perspective, photos aren't files. Music isn't files. Contacts aren't files. Apps aren't files. App data isn't files.

The only things that "walk like a file and quack like a file" are documents, downloads, contents of external storage, network drives and cloud drives, and some Airdrop transfers.

Yes, it's technically possible to use the files app to store photos, music etc, but if you do that, "you're holding it wrong."
