I've left Windows development land for a long time.
So, please take below discussion with grain of salt.
When I was there, CMake Users on Windows mostly used CMake-GUI to
generate build system for CMake since running CMake as CLI in Windows
takes too much hassle.
When I was there, CMake-GUI shows the option to choose build directories
explicitly, and whenever the source directories changed, the build
directories also changed, with some [-/]build added into sourcedir [1]
I heard that nowaday, CMake is supported natively with MSVC, I don't
know what is the default option when using CMake with MSVC, but from
the history of MSVC always supports building out of tree, and
information for Microsoft Docs [2]:
Click the Show All Files button at the top of Solution
Explorer to see all the CMake-generated output in the
out/build/<config> folders.
I think the default UX with CMake on Windows is building project out
of tree.

So, I don't think we would provide them more convenient with this change.
