Import and Export folders should match project folder by default

I have been using Premiere for years, and I'm suprsied that this is still an issue in 2024.  When I go to import media into a newly created project, the default location from which to import media is the folder of the last project I worked on before this project.  And when I go to export a timeline from my new project, the default export location is the folder of the last project I worked on.  This is nuts!  Why can't the import and export folder locations for my project be the folder that I've created for my new project by default?
