Because everything in the file system is a file.

You mean "regular files", I assume. Loop over the results, and apply
[[ -f ]] or test -f to each file, to see which files are regular files,
and which are not.
Since you're looping anyway, you might as well use * instead of
compgen. It'll be easier and probably more efficient. (Note, you
may want shopt -s dotglob.)
