If you prefer we can hardcode it in locate-user-emacs-file. Notice that
it's not a defcustom, not a defvar with a *, not even a defvar without
a *, but a defconst. So no, it's not meant to be changed.

You don't. Just like you don't request Emacs to use another name
than ~/.emacs. All you can do is set $HOME to use a .emacs or .emacs.d
in another directory.
