At some point Linux desktops bought into that whole ‘less is more’ religion that plagues Windows, and started to hide crucial things like file paths in the name of esthetics and to not confront the poor simple users with the ugliness of the Unix file system tree. This is the result.

That’s just gnome being gnome
Nah, KDE also hides the path, you have to click to see it.
oh yeah but setting that as a default in KDE is way easier
my point is KDE at least gives you plenty of options right away to customize your DE, meanwhile in GNOME you need extensions for most things
I haven’t run into any file managers that hide the path with no option to show it. Which one(s) are you talking about?
I did not imply “no option to show it”. You can see it, it’s just not out in the open like it used to be.
