Yep, that's precisly my experience from uni as well. And it wouldn't be a problem if this "alternative mental model" worked for the people applying it. But it doesn't. They keep losing stuff, working on 5 different copies of an essay, not keeping track which one is current; they just add workload to everyone collaborating and then someone has to handle this shit. And who does it? The techy "nerds", such as you or me. The iPhone, iCloud and Google Drive really fucked the people who will have to at some point work professionally with GenZs (speaking this as Gen Z myself)
