BuildPipeline.BuildPlayer ignores BuildPlayerOptions.locationPathName and attempts to build to the cached folder

-

Reproduction steps:
1. Open the “BuildPlayerCache” project, and open the “Scene1" scene
2. File → Build StandaloneWindows
3. File → Build And Run, and select “Player1” as the folder
4. Close the Player, and delete the “Player1" folder
5. File → Build StandaloneWindows, and observe the Console

Expected result: “Player2” build succeeded
Actual result: “Player2” build failed because “Player1” does not exist

    This is insane. Why is this present in the 2022.3.48f?

    can't believe this is still on LTS versions. The entire build process seems to be outstandingly bugged on LTS versions.

    This broke our build pipeline, and now requires a silly jank fix. Sorry, but this is quite disappointing.
