I got the impression that the current structure was a flat structure and it was sorted on first name of an author.

To optimize for command line use you have to think about things like navigating in shells and file name expansion. For example a director or file name starting wit a capital letter is very inconvenient (which is why I hate Java's convention with file name the same as class name).
No, it's not flat its Author/Title/files. And while I agree that capital letters are a bit of drag, that was a necessary compromise as most calibre users don't use the command line and would complain loudly if I lower cased everything
