JOSM installed in the Win AppData folder instead of Program Files

[sharcrash]

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. run your Windows installer

What is the expected result?

Install in C:\Program Files (x86)\JOSM\ folder

What happens instead?

JOSM is installed in my AppData C:\Users\userX\AppData\Local\JOSM

Please provide any additional information below. Attach a screenshot if possible.

I found out about this while i was trying to paste the newest josm-latest.jar in the folder you suggest here https://josm.openstreetmap.de/wiki/Download#Mswindowswrapper because of another bug which risks me to miswrite tags via a shortcut.
Now i understand why i had two JOSM installations. Also JOSM was always telling me that i should update whereas i already had the latest installed.
I know i can select myself my folder installation, which i redid now but usually we don't have to pay attention to this hence i guess many users have misplaced their installation. I've lost some settings in the process...

That's intended. This way users don't need admin privileges.

This way users don't need admin privileges.

Maybe that is on purpose, for security reasons? Why trying to put everything in user's folder? Isn't C:\Program Files designed for program's files? Why messing all together (profile setting and program files)?
Weird trend of recent time.
