This can be useful to be able, for example, to use a one-off style for
a given exporter while keeping a standard one for another exporter (e.
g. a one-off exporter for a journal with complicated bibliographic
requirement and anorher for a preprint archive of the same paper).

IMHO, `org-cite-csl-styles-dir' is deemed to be a more-or-less
permanent setting (possibly in `.emacs'), whereas allowing a relative
filename doesn't need any initial setup.

From `expand-file-name' docstring :
"expand-file-name is a built-in function in ‘C source code’.
(expand-file-name NAME &optional DEFAULT-DIRECTORY)
Probably introduced at or before Emacs version 1.6.
Convert filename NAME to absolute, and canonicalize it.
[ Abridged.. ]"
My tests confirmed that. I do not understand how you managed to reach
your conclusions...
Sincerely,
