why the use of php app/console sp:bower:install in stead of bower directly?

Hi,

I am wondering why in this project is using the command php app/console sp:bower:install is for installing the npm library?

Don't you think that it would be better if one uses the bower command as described down?

steps for installing bower dependencies

1. create a bower.json in src/DemoBundle/Resources/public/
2. run the following command for installing the dependencies $ bower install

(and the check if src/Acme/DemoBundle/Resources/public/components/cache/ is writable will be avoided)

Thanks

it got rid of sp-bower-bundle. It is always making me read only troubles...
