For the same reason that "/usr/share" has a clearly defined purpose.   
I am not going to prevent people from doing whatever they want, but  
it helps a lot to have one clearly defined standard way of doing it.

I think I am going to go with /usr/local/lib/pd-externals and ~/pd- 
externals.  Then people can also map their vanilla, desiredata,  
whatever installs to use this location as a common place to install  
externals, if they so desire.
