The best reason to keep all your assets from leaking through the community is this.
Your mod gets picked up by the/a publisher and is made commerical. They aren't going to have a viable product if all the assets are littered around the community. If you cant name who to give credit then you cant use it. The more that can be locked down to a single mod the better. They really needed a way to lock mods up so that only people with the original files could actually work with the assets. This would allow poeple to keep what they wanted and give away what they wanted to whom they wanted.
