Not everyone deletes all eooks using Calibre. I don't. I do sometimes, but not always.

On a more philosophical note, why do you object to empty subdirectories? It's not as if they consume a mass of storage space. I'm never going to have over 65,534 authors in my calibre libray so I am unlikely to reach the maximum number of directories and I am even more unlikely to reach 268,435,437 files which is the maximum number of files on a FAT32 partition.
Because I find that all the empty subdirectories to be sloppy and annoying. Do it my way and you have the root clean and all the books in one directory.
