The same thing could be said about preference files too though, and they're stored using the bundle identifier per default.

The name is also not as stable as the bundle identifier. The name of the app could, for example, be localized in the Finder. The name of many apps also include a variable suffix, like a version number, " Lite", et.c.

Finally, ~/Library is for all intent and purposes off limits for "normal" users, ie. the type of users who would be confused about a bundle identifier.

This might be true but I have a lot of apps installed (more than 250, not counting the Apple pre-installed apps) and the count of those that use a bundle identifier as the name of their folder in the ~/Library/ Application Support folder is precisely zero.
