Just a guess but, maybe because most already used that system for the chd's to begin with.
I've always found it much easier to locate them that way. It's much faster to look for a folder with the shortname than it is to go through the directory looking for a folder named "bmiidx7" than it is for a file named "b44jaa03.chd" buried amidst 1000's of others. I know that they're all alphabetical or however you set your details to and you can do a quick search in no time, but it just seems like the right way to do things to me. (Everything is details-alphabetical for me...)
Could just be that I, and maybe the majority of us, have a bigger touch of OCD than we thought too!
Just my thoughts for you...
Pessimist: Oh, this can't get any worse!
Optimist: Yes, it can!
