Following trends, it is easy to imagine a future Desktop becoming an increasingly protected space. One thing I have learned in 25 years is never underestimate Apple's ability to change and force our world to recompile. 10.6 just killed off an entire CPU line. Wait for OS 10.7 my friend, the Finder, she is nice now, yes? :-)

(sigh) I believe Kyle was right. You're just making things up.

As others have told you, dot-files being hidden is a convention that's been around for many, many years. Apple continues to find new uses for it with every release (.fseventsd, .Spotlight- V100, .Trashes ...), and many of the tools installed as part of the BSD subsystem use it as well (.ssh/)
