The idea is really nice. And I think projects like this could help elderly or mentally less gifted people.

Unfortunately, things break inside the programs. Usually the folder structure is still exposed as-is and the programs (except things like calculators or synthesizers) do not look like things from the physical world.

I have to do with some elderly people who do not have a mental model about file systems, program menus, tabs, and other things. They learn by heart where to click. And then they forget it when they do not use it on a regular basis. But they cannot regain this knowledge on their own since the UI has no inherent logic for them.
