Description

**Question**
On iOS, Hive puts DB files in the user-readable documents area instead of the private app documents. Is this intentional, or is it just too hard to fix now that there are production apps running with Hive in the documents folder? This also applies to desktop.

**Code sample**
Not needed since this is a more general question about Hive.

**Version**
- Platform: iOS
- Flutter version: 2.2.3
- Hive version: 2.0.4 (hive_flutter 1.0.0)
