Is this something mandatory from Apple?

calibre is going to start supporting networked backends. In a networked backend, there are no local copies of files in the calibre library. That means that when a file is sent to itunes, it either has to store the copy or calibre has to send the copy somewhere else and tell itunes to read from it.
And even apart from the network backend, linking itunes to files in the calibre library is not a good design. Say you change the title/author in calibre, itunes will lose track of the file.
