I have used BSD, Linux and many other Unixes for some decades now and I
have never used /dev to find out what devices are present on a system.

I suspect that this is behaviour that you have learned because Linux
makes it hard to use dmesg. On (all?) other Unixes dmesg can be run by
an unprivileged user. Of course, Linux is also somewhat notorious for
not putting useful information in dmesg to start with.
