The idea is to use the MyDocs for things like extracting etc. and leave the hidden-area '/', '/home/user' for system files.
That being said, unfortunately, there isn't a way to extend the unwieldy default File-Manager.
Since when are "things like extracting" docs? I mean, shouldn't "MyDocs" be for docs, or would that be too sane?
The point is, these directories are set up in a non-intuitive way. To claim that this is an effort to be nice to dumb users is to say it's kind to give out free lobotomies.

Every tool is there for you to burn down your N900. Hopefully by the time you get the tools and figure them out, you will be safer after having "Learned" a few things along the way.

btw, talking about unintuitiveness, there is a .documents folder within MyDocs. The File Manager in general is dumbed down. If the user never looked outside it, he/she would never know of the existence of 'MyDocs'.
