Yeah, in my opinion the only legitimate reason to install an extension system-wide is for an administrator to enforce its use on a multi-user system. So in the "normal" case of a single desktop user, an extension should be self-contained (e.g. in a single directory) in the users home directory (firefox style). Unfortunately, GSettings does not support this yet[0], so until it does, schemas have to be installed in the path GIO searches for schemas.
