Because the installation directory in not necessarily writable by users. Plus one install of Lazarus IDE could be used by many users, so a single profile location via lazarus.ini will not work. For example, we have a shared 64bit Linux server with Lazarus IDE installed. Many developer connect to that machine and use the same copy of Lazarus IDE, but the lazarus profile (user custom settings) are different for each user, in their home directories.
