I doubt this is an epidemic of computer illiteracy, but I do think it points to how software interface design in the major user OSes has come to obscure the structure of the system as much as it can.
Idk if it's just Google though, this is the exact tactic i use for my work emails in Outlook. I'm lazy as fuck and I hate organizing and deleting that shit, just leave it in a pile and I'll summon it when I need it. It's messy but it's easy and that's about as much effort as I want to put into work emails

Google Drive has also pushed people to just search a mess of files, and it might be to train people to use Google Search
