otoh, my guess is that that not installing things in their "customary" places would (might likely) cause a bunch of grief later on... other tools might expect things to be in certain places, and would need to be tweaked to look in other places.
OS 9 was different... there was no concept of paths to the (end user anyway). you clicked on things and they worked... for that matter, you could only click on things.
OS X is a lot more picky about things being where it wants them to be. I have heard of many applications that stop working or start doing voodoo if moved from their default locations.
