The reason to delegate all path normalisation to backends is that not all strings are paths, for example 'NETCDF:"~/sst.nc":tos' is a valid source string for GDAL / rasterio.

I would suggest to add path normalisation to the backends that needs them, in order to avoid any special case in the common code path.

@aurghs I suggest you add os.path.expanduser in the netCDF backend.
