If you run the advanced installer without admin privileges, you get
a popup telling you that you cannot install for all users unless you
install as administrator.

Note that even if you are logged in as administrator under Vista and
later, you still need to explicitly run the installer as
administrator.

The simple installer does indeed always install for the current
user.

With a single-user install, users have all the permissions they
might want when they run TeX Live Manager later on. And most pcs are
in practice single-user pcs anyway.
