Comment (by Rarst):

 > In fact, there is no "logical default location" for WordPress core at
 all.

 There are two possible locations:
  - site root
  - root subdirectory with arbitrary name

 These are what code (as of recently in full) and documentation currently
 support.

 > The Composer issue you opened isn't likely to go anywhere because that's
 simply not how Composer (or composer/installers) is designed to work.
 There isn't a new installer type for every PHP application that requires a
 docroot.

 `composer/installers` is designed precisely to satisfy path requirements
 of [legacy] PHP applications. Which it already does for WP extensions, I
 merely propose to codify it for core as well.
