I ignored those instructions for every version of this game. So my question is what are the traits common to doing such a thing? I'm thinking it might make switching back and forth from winSPWW2 graphics less burdensome. Correct?

Not, it suggests that
if you have the (unsupported by us - we have not downgraded from XP as yet) operating systems
Vista/Windows 7,
then you should install to a separate game folder
outside of the O/S managed folders.
As already discussed in the vista/W7 (same O/S, different name) threads - these versions of windows can squirrel away files to strange places on a seeming whim. Such as installing the game to one place and then applying patches elsewhere.
Unless you avoid their managed folder hierarchy by creating your own folder.
