Why does Get-PSResource require -scope AllUsers

[mcdonamw-ews]

When I run Get-Module, if I do not specify the -Scope parameter it pulls modules both in currentuser and allusers scopes. Get-PSResource appears to only pull currentuser if no scope is specified. I have to specify -Scope AllUsers in order to list resources in all user scope. Why is this?

I can't find any information about this being required.

Get-PSResource is an alias for Get-InstalledPSResource, and the implementation defaults to the CurrentUser scope.

That is why an AllUsers install is not returned unless you ask for it:

Get-PSResource Az -Scope AllUsers

This differs from the mental model many people have from Get-Module, but it matches the current source: the command has a ScopeType property, and with no parameter the enum default is CurrentUser. I would read this as expected behavior, though the docs/help could probably make the default more obvious.
