Exactly!

Seems to be a reasonable solution to me. So would you go ahead and make the
change, or, would more people need to agreed on this solution?

Maybe!

Yeah, org-store-link overloads ARG, and there seems to be an undesirable
interaction here.

I think that, when negating org-context-in-file-links, the function
should check whether a single C-u was given rather than just checking if
ARG is non-nil.  If someone uses C-u C-u to fall back to core Org
functions, I don't see any reason to assume that they also want to
reverse their org-context-in-file-links preference.
