I can manage my books perfectly easily using a Windows file manager so why complicate things by using Calibre.
Take up (more) space ? Modern file systems are space efficient.
The folder (name) entry isn't much larger than the characters in its name
Calibres Tagging allows you to retrieve books 6 ways from Sunday, not just a from a single (topic) folder
