Yes. You can set it via the arduino_data field in your arduino-cli.yaml.

why is it 15

Because the folder was originally called .arduino back in the Arduino IDE 1.0.x days, but then some significant changes were made to the Arduino IDE back when the version number was 1.5.x so they wanted to allow the IDE versions to use separate data folders to avoid any possible conflicts.

Support questions like this are more appropriate for the Arduino Forum. This issue tracker is intended to be used for reporting bugs and feature requests.
