But what do you think ls does when listing directory?
stat("/etc/", {st_mode=0, st_size=0, ...}) = 0
open("/etc/", O_RDONLY|O_NONBLOCK) = 3
fcntl(3, F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC) = 0
brk(0x8055000) = 0x8055000
And ls would probably be very unhappy if it got some kind of
index.html file instead of listing.

Why is it better than user doing open("/etc..body") directly? Or
open("/etc#body") for that case :-)
