Maybe because there's no need to change the Calibre code in order to achieve that objective.
This programmer simply layers folder symlinks onto Calibre's Library/Author/Title folder structure to create an entirely different view of the same data. No need to touch any Calibre code and no need to store the data twice.
Pretty sure that each of the desktop environments on which Calibre executes will support folder symlinks.
Why would I change someone else's code to do something for which it wasn't designed, especially when there's an alternative loosely couple solution sitting there waiting to be used.
