due to this hard coded UserAppData Path, I cannot start FreeCAD with cross via FreeCAD -M freecad.cross command line

It's not hard-coded since it uses getUserAppDataDir(). What is the error message? Why do you need to pass an additional module path. You can install CROSS like any other FreeCAD plugin.

I used debian with no system provided ROS2, and custom built ROS workspace ( so it is not in system path ), and CROSS requires ROS2 environment setup during start up, I don't want it loaded when I don't uses cross ( don't setup ROS2 environment), and I used FreeCAD -M to specify CROSS path

CROSS is supposed to load also without ROS. If it doesn't, it's a bug.

Would you otherwise have a solution for this issue ?
