It sounds like what you're really saying is that you
don't want Emacs to use `custom-file' for Custom
stuff, by default.
The advantages, for the great majority of users, and
in particular for new users, vastly outweigh the
inconvenience to anyone who _really_ wants to keep
things as they are for themselves.
They/you need only (setq custom-file THE-INIT-FILE).
They could always have done that. And it's always
been essentially a no-op in similar situations -
see _function_ `custom-file', which is used by
`custom-save-all'.
