I'm not sure why that is exactly, but it's always been a nit I've found frustrating.

Especially when you can `go run that/project/over/there@latest`

Although, with slight modification, you can `go run -C ~/that/project/over/there .`

thats mostly true. you need to at least be at the top level of the module to do go run. any higher and you get a missing go.mod error.
