My $.02: LOTS and LOTS of mere mortals.
I can see the attraction to it, esp. in cases where you're building a
quickie ad hoc solution with no vision for later versions.
But I can't think of any app that's ever attempted to save data to
itself since OS 9 was put to rest so long ago. Where would folks even
get the idea?
The 'only' possible advantage I can see with an app that saves data to
itself is if it
is a portable app on something like a USB drive.
I can imagine a scenario where somebody uses an app both at work and at
home and for
security reasons carries the app around in their pocket on a USB
flash-drive or an SD card
and wants the data to ride with it.
