I don't see a point in putting the object files in different
directories when the compiler can output the object files with
fully
qualified module names.

Because ambiguity can arise. Like
my/module/A.d -> my_module_A.o
my_module_A.d -> my_module_A.o (conflict)
my_module/A.d -> my_module_A.o (conflict)
my/module_A.d -> my_module_A.o (conflict)
Granted, this is a really contrived example, but unexpected
coincidences
like that do happen.

Did you not read what Jacob posted?
my.module.A.o
my_module_A.o
my_module.A.o
my.module_A.o
No conflicts.
