Due to permissions. Any area a browser or other program / app would download to would have the necessary write permissions. For many users it would be irrelevant though with the exception of read only data like that from CD or DVD.

I think uploading a file, editing it and downloading it back is such an uncommon operation that it makes no sense to apply any smart heuristics.
