Change of mind, different applications...
 
Writing to DCIM directly is not polite, it ignores there may be other apps.

This has nothing to do with "politeness". The structure of the DCIM
folder for the camera is a technical standard. Also see here:

Yes, on an Android smartphone that may not be that important, but at
least when connecting it using MTP, software which syncs the files may
expect a certain folder structure.
