Of course he did, he and everyone in the last few decades. We've worked out general designs for endless things in computing, so now you just reimplement within the framework, rather than have to re-invent everything. The idea of a filesystem, with hierarchical file arrangement (folders), files themselves as an ordered collection of bytes, etc. Each system adds some unique arrangements or ideas, but for the most part they are doing what's been done. This isn't a bad thing, because systems that do too many things differently are generally not useful.
