Imagine a project which ships both tex sources and fonts together in

folder as TeX documents, but if one wants some structure and put fonts
in another folder, one has to install the font. There should be no
need for users to install exotic fonts if document author can specify
something like \setupfonts[directory=../fonts] on top of project file.
maybe some day ... as caching is somewhat special then (lookups by names
as well) it's non trivial ... technically one can mount an additional
pseudo tree already but even then it might conflict when working on
shares that are used by multiple users (fonts defined with file: are
less problematic, but name: lookups get messy)
