Even if that were true, that's got nothing to do with the API, that's just
the user's UI.

But it's not true.  Nothing significant, technically speaking, has changed.
By default, you won't see any volumes on the Desktop, and new Finder
windows will open to $HOME.  But you can change that behavior in the Finder
preferences, and in any event, the volumes are still always available.
