Can we talk about the rude installers not asking for installation locations?

Title.

I think it is very rude to just install to any "default" directory and not asks the user where he wants it to be installed.

Always chose custom settings when installing anything. Not only you always get to pick target location but often you can avoid installing some additional garbage. I see no problem here though. Maybe i am too used to these things and some people just never learn and click on every button that is presented to them?

Maybe OP is complaining about times when there isn't such a button? In fact, explicitly OP is discussing those instances.

That is a big red flag.

Thus the complaint.
