The "single good reason" I can think of is that I open a zip file and drag the Runtime folder wherever, and it merges everything automatically.
Otherwise I'd have to drag Geometries, Textures, and Libraries, and sometimes Python - four drags instead of one.
Or, if the zip file had a top-level folder with some arbitrary name, like V4CoolStuff, and I wanted to install it in my V4 external runtime called V4 Runtime, I'd have to drag V4CoolStuff to some temporary place, change the name to V4 Runtime, and then drag it onto my existing V4 Runtime.
Either way, it's extra work. I know people say you shouldn't just drag a zip contents somewhere without examining it, but I have no trouble examining it while it is still in the zip. Then I drag it.
Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
