It does much more then index books. Calibre also does format shift, metadata update, custom columns, etc... Others have already talked to these points.

Calibre doesn't meddle with the physical file system it avoids meddling in any users existing files. Copying vs indexing is a design decision that has minimum effect on the end user.

The thought that somehow changing the backend will make calibre more useful to the end user is absurd. If how calibre handles its database bothers you, don't use it.
