That's how i have my roms setup. Same paths on all system. A
resonable assumption as it is not hard to setup and why would you
want it necessary to have local copies of roms.

The argument breaks down somewhat for non-ROM -based games ("PC Games", as MythGame likes to call them.)  I run frontends on Linux, FreeBSD, and Mac OS X.  Not all of the games I have are available on all of those platforms.  Nor do the pathnames necessarily agree.  I could certainly set up shell scripts to hide the differences, but it would be a lot easier if I had host-specific game definitions.
