Because only Blackberry implements it this way. On iOS, it lives in the root of the iOS project, and on Android it lives in res/xml, because it's an XML file on Android. I'm fine with the CLI abstracting out reality as long as we're clear that's what's being done, and indicate that this is for the CLI users only.
I know that there's some people who would like it if everyone used the CLI but that's never going to happen, which is why I'm fine with the CLI being the part of the project that enforces ideological purity.
