why a disk image on user/shared, rather than just a folder in that location called iPhoto?

surely if iPhoto is a regular shared folder in user/shared then there wont be time machine backup issues as with a disk image?

iPhoto '11, Mac OS X (10.7.5)

Because the disk image's permissions can easily be turned off and kept that way. Doing that with a regular shared folder would require that they be reset each time a different user accesses it.
