Sure. I also think touch() and all the others are the same :) I think they’re just an unfortunate detritus of a time before PathLike and that it’s super weird to have some operations you do to a file path (compared to things you do to generate, modify, or resolve a path) be hung off of the Path object and every other be an independent thing that takes it as an input. I’d find it equally weird if dictionary objects supported a print() or a .json() method. — Donald Stufft
