Why?  They can still do 'winetricks flash' just like before to install it anywhere they want.

That's a separate question.  It still does obey WINEPREFIX for libraries.
If you want it to obey WINEPREFIX for applications, use --no-isolate.

Winetricks defaults to putting apps in their own wineprefixes so one app's workarounds
don't break other apps.  It solves the dll hell problem.  Maybe in the future it won't
be needed, and winetricks can flip the default back to installing apps in ~/.wine.
