Most probably because Exim wants to write the PID file as the user Exim
is running under. On recent Debian systems, this user is Debian-exim,
and this user does not have (and should not have...) write permissions
in /etc/exim.
And because Exim couldn't write to the specified PID_FILE_PATH, it
defaults to the spool directory.
Just my 2c.
