This isn't all that big a deal, I'd like to understand the rationale..or should I just bow to the inevitable?
That's the way how the maildir format is designed.
Not really, it's just a common default. You can just as easily have the Maildir directories elsewhere (for example, "default_mail_env = maildir:/var/spool/mail/%u"). You can also have the Maildir home in the home directory but the inbox elsewhere: "default_mail_env = maildir:%h/Maildir:INBOX=/var/spool/mail/%u".
