Pardon my Windows-based ignorance, but if certain kinds of apps didn't 
install parts of themselves in certain other directories, how would they 
talk with other apps?

I'm thinking of things that associate file types to them, or that talk to 
other apps, such as Firefox determining it's the default browser, or 
iTunes owning .mp3s, or such.
