I don't use iTunes but the last time I checked they had both options. Copy files into their library or index the files where they stand.

There are folks who choose to use calibre via the
Command Line Interface because they prefer not using the structure of calibre. There is no need to add books to the library to use calibre's features.

In this day and age maintaining a backup of files is prudent not absurd or infeasible.
Calibre also lets you easily export the books within its library to the folder structure / filename format of your choosing using the templates for the
Save to disk feature.
