Are there any downsides to this suggestion that I'm missing?

Malware could inject an importer with destructive code. You only need to download the app, don't even have to launch it, and the next time your hard drive indexes certain files, the importer wipes your disk clean or whatever...

Though Apple could do it like Apple Help works and only scan an app's importers folder when the app is first launched... -- Cheers, M.
