I agree that the ROOT site name should remain as index.htm but in subfolders of the site I wouldn't agree this is necessary, which is the example I gave.
index.htm is fine if you're only creating one or two sites, but if you create many with many subfolders it becomes very difficult to search for if they're all called index.htm. See screengrab, which shows I have 3,129 files named index.htm
One further problem I have only using index.htm in every sub folder is that unless you get the path correctly you can very easily overwrite one index.htm file with an entirely different index.htm file.
