We could also go that way, but to make it work, we'd also need to stop shipping the sample data directory with GeoServer. Does not make sense to have a large-ish data set embedded in the war file when production environments just ship their own data.
One might say the Windows and the bin could contain it too, but I've also seen lots of production environments just using those... especially on Windows. It's a rare occurrence to find production environments that do use a stand-alone Tomcat service install and then add the war into it. Most of the sites I've seen just go with the installer and never look back.
