Good explanation!
> The reason beleve it or not was that in those days we did not write to files we wrote to devices: teletypes, lineprinters, card punches, card readers etc. Disk drives? What kind of new fangled tomfoolery is that?
This makes it somewhat clearer, why DOS/Windows had/still has this
"device:" concept. And AmigaOS had.
And it must have been revolutionary modern to have the "File" concept in
Unix.
