Yes, it does.
In Fedora you can install using `dnf --installroot`  option
I dont think there is a similar option in Debian.
If you have a tar file, you can untar it where you will (e.g Tor
Browser)
If you have sources, you can very often compile and install wherever you
want, and the README will help you to do that.

There are many reasons for cloning templates, and security and
compartmentalization are two of them.
I dont know any cultists such as you describe. I do know security
professionals who maintain distinct templates for different qubes, on
the reasonable ground of reducing attack surface where possible. I prefer
to follow them.
