Why does Laravel Jestream store layout files in resources/views/layouts instead of resources/views/components/layouts

 Laravel Jetstream follows a convention where layout files are stored in resources/views/layouts instead of resources/views/components/layouts due to how Laravel structures its view rendering and component management:

1. Separation of Concerns: In Laravel's view hierarchy, layouts represent the structure of an entire page, including headers, footers, and main content sections. They serve as a foundational structure for multiple pages or views. Placing them directly in resources/views/layouts separates them clearly from other types of views.
2. Clarity in Naming: Placing layouts directly in layouts under views provides clarity in naming and organization. Developers can easily distinguish between reusable layout structures and other components or views.
3. Framework Convention: Laravel conventionally uses directories like layouts, partials, components, etc., for different types of views and components. This helps developers quickly locate and understand the purpose of each file or directory within the views folder.

While resources/views/components/layouts could theoretically be used for layout components, Laravel's default structure prefers layouts directly under views to maintain consistency and clarity in file organization.
