Regarding hierarchy, there's absolutely no technical reason, as far as I'm aware, that categories must be hierarchal. It's certainly an intended feature that categories have subcategories and the capability to be hierarchal (i.e., you can have subcategories), but you can concurrently use categories with a flat structure. Right?
Yeah, the software-culture divide around Wikimedia has always been fluid.
I may be complaining about culture rather than software. But either way, the current way Commons categorisation works is a source of endless frustration for me as a user. If it turns out what I'm asking for literally already exists, then it's the interface that's failed me. Aaaaand, perhaps I'm just weird or perhaps the present system is failing others. USER TEST TIME!!
