Other computers didn't need the advantages of PDS's.   Nor the
disadvantages.

Does anything other than S/360 derived systems even use CKD type DASD? PDS 
directories are built around CKD. And, in their day, moving the search logic 
out to the peripheral was probably a good idea.

I don't know about TPF, VSE and VM, but in z/OS there are only two structures using Key from CKD: PDS and (regular) VTOC. So with two exceptions we use C-D disk. However lack of key does not make CKD disks more compatible to FBA.
