Because I'd have to re-install it after each change to the code.
You still have to `make` after each code change anyway, but since the install to a non-system prefix doesn't need to be done with sudo, just doing `make install` will do both `make` and `make install` all in the one command.
Also I can't move it, that's less of an issue but still annoying.
Yes its not movable, and it isn't supposed to be.
