Because it's not "filesharing" then.... it's filepaying (like Napster) or "(some)filesharing" where you can only share "some" things.

Agreed, in fact you could take that a step further and say that mount exists on OSX because Apple saw the benefits of UNIX/POSIX systems in general and decided to use it.
