Description
The .NET 8 SDK has a new simplified output paths feature that is opt-in.
However, the property that has been chosen to configure it is ArtifactsPath.
That leads to any projects using Microsoft.Build.Artifacts that are built with the .NET 8 SDK to suddenly find bin and obj folders in the build artifacts folder.

Research direction
Start by inspecting Microsoft.Build.Artifacts and its handling of the .NET 8 SDK's ArtifactsPath property. Reproduce a build with simplified output paths enabled and check where bin and obj are created. Done means Microsoft.Build.Artifacts builds no longer place those folders unexpectedly in the build artifacts folder.
