It was not a "random' decision, it was a "much considered decision" to enable me to have alternative calibre configurations - you should be using the environment variable - they reason they exist is to prevent situations like this.
Irrespective of environment variables, the location of the configuration folder shouldn't be effectively 'hard coded' at a moment in time. If someone moves their calibre installation (with the calibre Export/Import tools) to a different computer (maybe a different OS) under a different user name the location of their configuration folder will change. The raison detre for the Export/Import tools is to facilitate doing that in as frictionless manner as possible - including no plugin reinstalls.
