Also, the former is simply more *informative* - it tells the reader

On Windows you can usually tell that from the fact that filenames
almost always have an extension, and directory names almost never
do.
Usually, but not always. I have not infrequently used files with a
blank extension.
I can't recall using a directory name with an extension (but I can't
swear that I never have).
I most commonly see this with bare git repositories <reponame>.git. And
I've created directory names with "extensions" for my own use.
