Well, I think it also has to do with other "OSs" (or, strictly speaking: 
"GUIs"). Originally, the term came from Atari and MacOS. Since MS followed,  
about the whole GUI world has "folder" and our main target group is used to 
this term, ie people who are not Unix freaks (and yes, privately I will 
probably always use "directory" myself).
