mod.rs came first and that made creating modules verbose as hell. Not only that but imagine having many mod.rs files open, you wouldn’t know what module you are in by just looking at the filename.

I speculate that they wanted to support just `mod.rs`, but because VS Code became the editor for rust people hated seeing all tabs named `mod.rs`.
