Actually, OS X does use file extensions. You can make it so you don't see them by default (Finder Preferences>Always Show File Extensions), but if you hide them, you could have 2 files with the same name but in different formats and not be able to tell which is which without looking in the "Kind" column of a finder window ("FileName.psd" and "FileName.tif" would just show up as 2 occurences of "FileName".)
I prefer to show the extensions - much easier for me to see at a glance what kind of file I'm dealing with.
