Because the idea is that if you install it for user "A" and you subsequently decide that you want it to be available to user "B" as well, it's simply a case of setting up the appropriate configuration for user B, rather than installing a complete duplicate of the application. Ie executables are common, but configuration is user-specific. (That's exactly what Calibre does, for example.)
How do other operating systems handle this?
