Remember too that calibre not only has to be able to support every device out there, but it has to support multiple devices, often multiple unrelated devices, per user. There are users with several devices -- a pocket reader and a tablet, for instance, with different books on them -- and there are families who all use the same computer and copy of calibre, with at least one device each. The location of a book on one person's Aluratek Libre is not going to be the same as the location of that book on his wife's Sony Reader, and trying to correlate the two would probably break calibre's wee little silicon brain. When you add in devices which allow their users to rearrange their files, it goes from merely hairy to covered in dense fur and chasing you through the woods; even two outwardly identical devices might have totally different book organizations.
It's one of those things that would be nice, but probably can't be made to work with the userbase calibre has to support.
