surely something as basic as the location of the config folder can somehow be changed to a custom path, right?

Configuring where configuration data lives can be tricky. (Chicken/egg problem.)

But you can certainly create your own symlink.

Yeah, the issue is mainly if you setup a new machine with your dot files, you need to remember to setup the symlink, because you don't do that so often is so easy to forgot. Also I pointed that out because I share my dot files between Mac and Linux and that's certainly annoying to have two paths for both.
