🤔 I noticed that too. I found it surprising at first, but also found it pretty convenient, since I deliberately install all my apps on a separate hard drive partition and happened to have my current working directory be the preferred installation directory anyway, which I keep as d:\programs and never %localappdata% for a few reasons:

(1) it's easy to find and backup all your apps if they're under the same easy-to-access-not-deeply-buried-folder.
(2) it's easier to share binaries between bootable OS's (I have both Win7 and Win10 on my machines)
(3) appdata/ gets blown away by reinstallation
(4) it's easier to clear out your appdata folder if it's not also littered with binaries
(5) localappdata was more intended to hold application data rather than application binaries, despite the abuse over the years by various installers :/.
(6) some more secure environments block app execution from binaries stuffed under appdata to mitigate risk.

So if this is changed, then so long as --location still works correctly, I'm content ^_^. e.g.
winget install KRTirtho.flemozi --location d:\programs\utility\flemozi

from flemozi.
