The point is that if the file upload does not look like a file upload it's a lot easier to trick the user into typing in it, pasting into it, or dragging something to it. Now I suppose that browser makers could disable all of these methods of filename input and force all users to use the browse button.... but it's a much smaller hassle for the _user_ to just have the file upload control always look the same.
