Please. Don't be so condescending. Just because
you or Goyal think & work this way does not mean that's the way everyone work or think. Or hell, that it's even the best way. And they may have some damn good reason to do what they do. I'll let you think about that for a minute or maybe you need two.
As for me, I do not work your way and the big OOPS would not result in a total loss for me at all. Perhaps Calibre is the wrong app for me but unfortunately it seems to be the only ebook manager out there. I can tell you that in my case, it's much better if an ebook management program gave the option to link to the location where books are stored with the full understanding that there may be additional overhead (which is a BS argument since it would be minimal to store one additional field; the path). That way, people who do things a certain way (for good reason) can do things their way.
BTW, if you need a clue, see the message right above mine and think why Apple caved. There is more than one way to skin a cat.
