Maybe. On the other hand, there's definitely a bit of just my programming style involved: the things I care most about are the kinds of things I'd personally use in programming. So I claim that one of the reasons Linux does pathname lookup well is simply that every single program I've ever done that cared about performance of either open() or stat() or both. And yes, I tend to have a tendency to mmap() rather than read. So I optimize stuff I do. That said, Linux does a lot of _other_ things well too, so it's not like it's just the things I do.
