Benefit of data managers: Tags for easier searching and grouping, grouping that is folder agnostic, easily choosing a thumbnail, and in text focused ones you can usually search the content of the files from one location and easily look through the results for the correct one, etc.
Your cats choose to listen to you.
Anyone who’s had cats for a long time notice how they are basically like teenagers; They love you and hear you(and have scientifically been shown to reckognize their names, and ignore them), but they like to be alone and ignore you a lot of the time unless they want something. But they will also come running and show affection if they’re the mood for that.
There are some who are more attached and more likely to come running, but generally they’re just a bit independent.
