Comment (by toscho):

 The plugin directory doesn’t have to be in the `wp-content` directory, it
 can sit in a completely separated directory, even with a separate domain.
 The uploads directory is—and always was—the only place where it is safe to
 write files.

 This is not a bug. It is a design decision made many years ago.
