Too many apps on OS X end up expanding symlinks, mount points, and the path to the home directory in fashions that become really ugly to the user and potentially break things significantly as the user moves from one host to another and uses mounted filesystems to do so.

That's what symlinks are for: to keep paths invariant, whatever setup and mountpoints you happen to use (if neede at all -- so far as I recall, I've always *mounted* so that paths were invariant).
