No, OOo/LO can be installed into any directory, there is no artificial
limitation on where to put it. This is a huge benefit.

Well, I completely disagree, especially for testers it is very
important to be able to install multiple versions side by side and in
an easy way. And very often those have dedicated playground/testing
accounts to not conflict with the rest of the system, and obviously
those users don't have administrator privileges. So changing the
installer type would be a pain in the a*.

What installer please? There is no package installer that would ask
for a passworf for LO. (and never was). Opening the dmg-bundle and
using drag'n'drop surely doesn't ask when using a target directory
where you have regular write-access.
