Not everyone exposes a text input for <input type=file>.  Chrome,
frex, just shows a button at first, and after selecting a file shows
the filename following the button.

Also, file inputs specifically allow very little interaction via CSS
and JS for security reasons - you don't want a user to be tricked into
entering a filename into what looks like a normal input field, and
have them unknowingly submit a file with the form.
