Try talking Grandma over the phone to help her share her photo directory with Aunt Jeanine, on the same PC. No command line allowed, and you know she can only focus on that type of task for 4, maybe 5 minutes top.
That wouldn't work reliably under Windows, either, as nobody knows anything about files and directories generically anymore.
(That's the reason why first the Windows explorer was suddenly sufficent enough and then almost completely disregarded)
A public folder on the same PC is way harder to explain than just telling your photo app to share it with your resident spying company/cloud provider, despite how wasteful the round trip is.
Not that that has anything to do with a discussion about the "unix way" as a special case or even superset of IDEs.
I can't imagine any system where you'd have a good chance of succeeding in that scenario without some kind of remote administration tool. Remote controlling a user over the phone is difficult, unreliable and time-consuming.
