My counter to this is that with any suitably large product, having a logical folder structure that you religiously stick to, regardless of file size/content† , you can reliably find the content that you are looking for. Okay you occasionally deal with a silly file, but its better than having someone recreate something and have inconsistency between what should be functionally identical.

For small/informal project then I understand the convenience, but otherwise i feel it can add to problems long-term, especially when working with big/multiple teams.

have a single exported const in a file for all I care
