They're not ego folders. They're called "controlled namespaces".
Imagine the grief you'd have if every vendor who made, for example, an evening gown called it "Evening Gown". Upon loading two different vendor's products, you'd end up trashing the one you installed first, in favor of the one you installed last.
By creating an eponymous folder above the product, such collisions are completely avoided. (Assuming no two vendors have the same name, which is pretty likely.)
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)
