That's probably not the reason at all. I wasn't involved with the PS2 scene so I don't know how the HD loader for PS2 worked but as far as the original Xbox you could rip discs to the HD all day (if modded and you had a big HD) and they'd play just fine regardless of the location change.
Plus that doesn't explain why DMC had a lengthy install.
