Many.
The problem is if you implement non-generic file I/O, it has limited applicability, and you will always need a C++ layer.
The problem is if you implement generic, non-standard I/O then there is no consistent API and charing code becomes hard, as everyone has to implement everone else's IO libray.
The only reasonable solution is to provide a generic standard libray which satisfies every both use cases. The more code that gets written in QML, the more need you'll have to write to files. With this API missing, we are headed for a disaster. I'm surprised we've gone for this long without one.

Sorry for offtop but..
what the reason to use cross platform, native framework and implement file io via JS?

This is a different thing IMHO.

Yes, isn't that what CommonJS intended? I don't remember what Qbs had, but
something like that I think.
