I don't want to fight against your recommendation about best practice (I am totally with you), but your assumption is not in general correct.

Maybe there is a mix up best practice with what we think what is an absolutely no-go or potential security issue. It is not only Amazon or Autodesk that use this way for personal license installations, UIPath is an other commercial example I knew. Microsoft as well use this installation path for some applications like OneDrive and OffCAT.

Guess, we need to talk with Microsoft too how to make best practice as as role model alive everywhere
