Consider that you might have a number of apps in your project. As an
experienced Django dev you would probably keep your separate apps nicely
segregated so they can be re-used in multiple projects without any
integration overhead. That means the static files for such apps really
must stay with the apps - or management and deployment gets too hard.

So your project has a few apps and each has its own static files. When
you deploy all you need to do is add the app static dir to the
settings.STATICFILES_DIRS list and run collectstatic.

Apache or whatever webserver you use only needs a simple directive to
serve them from STATIC_ROOT.

It is very nice.
