Right. Since it doesn't make sense to cd into a file or socket or pipe, bash only displays folders for cd command completion. If you want all files use ls. If you want environment variables use echo $. If you want to cd to user's folder, use cd ~. In short, command completion on most modern distros is context-dependent.
