It's not just the difference between a single location versus multiple locations. It's about the core object code of git parsing links, as opposed to a fringe submodule.c/ submodule.sh parsing .gitmodules. When you push git-submodule.sh into core, you'll have to constantly call functions to parse .gitmodules and get the information. With links, all that information is free, provided you've parsed the object.
