Both this post, and FAQ entry, carefully explain that there is no need to keep book metadata in the directory structure as it is better managed by calibre. I wholeheartedly agree…

There is no need but it does no harm.
I actually do find it useful on occasion if I find a book with missing or no formats in my current library. Easy to locate in a backup copy.
I occasionally scroll down the library file folder listing to check for author misspellings as well. Sometimes I spot things there that I miss in the tag browser. (I always change them using calibre not by changing the directory filename).
I can also imagine that the developer(s) would find it useful on occasion to see this info on an os level.
Longer file folder names can be a bit of a pain for those with an already complex (very long path before reaching calibre folder level) but it might be better to simplfy things on a higher level.
