Description of the new feature/enhancement

The ability to completely disable command history is surprisingly missing. This is an essential option that should not only be implemented but also be the default.

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

You can disable history simply by having Set-PSReadLineOption -HistorySaveStyle SaveNothing in your profile. We won't change to the default setting.

I would like to change the default location of my profile which is currently $PSHOME\Profile.ps1 on Windows to be somewhere close to the pwsh.exe folder so I can use it as portable on different machines.

The default location of profile is the current-user current-host profile, not at $PSHOME\Profile.ps1. But you can already have your profile under $PSHOME next to pwsh, and that will your all-user all-host profile.
