The answer why Joplin actually shouldn't rely on filesystem as its source of truth is twofold: Search and scalability

Joplin can handle hundreds of thousands of notes and the search is pretty much instant. Relying on filesystem would defeat both of these features

Ah, I see. Didn't think of it on that scale, makes sense. Thanks!
