Another issue (as noticed on MacOS X a while back with their .DS_INFO files) is that they can expose valuable info to an attacker when web or other types of file servers are improperly configured to serve them them. When all the metadata is stored in the user's directory and has a consistent set of permissions this is less likely to happen.
