I can see value in having the bookmarks be a separate thing, it allows multiple readers against a single document, which might be shared in a business environment, or even read-only. Being able to have a single original document and let everyone have their own personal current page and bookmarks and possibly annotation, would be a good thing. Unfortunately that sounds like a fairly major change to the existing behavior, so it may not be practical.
That approach is also used by okular.

Modifications of the original files is an ugly idea, but I have to admit that it may have looked reasonable in a single-user mobile environment (copy the book -> copy also the related viewing info).
Nonetheless one thing is content and one thing is viewer state; in fact they happen to go in the same file, but the "file" is actually a zip container.
