Do you also store your birth certificate in your car's glovebox?

What a misleading comparison...

A game's exe dir is a long-lived but potentially replaceable thing, like a car. Saved games may be persisted across game versions, so you don't necessarily want them to be in the same directory. Admittedly not the best analogy, but was just observing that it's strange and incongruent to store the 2 together.
