AFAIK this is only the default cwd if you start the terminal with administrator rights — which definitely is a bad idea (and not suggested by the docs).
Nonetheless, it probably wouldn’t hurt to add a hint that the command will create a folder in the cwd and that the user should first cd to whichever location they prefer first.
