How does a sysfs-like, or a proc-like file system relate to disk economics? How does a distributed, peer-to-peer file system (e.g., AFS), relate to disk economics? How about all these: http://plan9.bell-labs.com/sys/man/4/INDEX.html ? Plan 9 is right in that it shows that the file system _interface_ can be useful for many, many things beside disk access. And you would not implement all these things in kernel-space, would you?
