The point was that they don't store the base location of your home

That's what search and replace is for?

Or, make your OS partition bigger?

It's a cost vs benefit kind of thing. The number of sales they lose due to 
people with a too-small system disk and a second disk that's big enough 
added later is probably smaller than the cost of writing, testing, and 
supporting that functionality.

Why not just move the executable and leave the data behind?
