I would say that the directory under a file is implicit. There are still the pseudo-files a filesystem might want to provide or the VFS if there should be an agreement to generally provide file/pseudo/uid or possibly some security hooks. Some filesystem might want to provide those pseudo files but doesn't have the technical possibility to store non-pseudeo files from the user under such a directory.
