Why? Why is it ridiculous to want to be able to support medium sized
file directories, for example thousands of frames of a video, DNA
sequencing files and others I often have are in large sets of files,
and don't have any sub division that is logical other than numerically
creating subdirectories.

I think your thinking is wrong. In 2013, why can't we support a
directory that responds reasonably fast with a large amount of
directories?
