``Bad'' as in ``inconvenient''.

It takes time to get used to the notion that in Emacs, you are always
in the directory of the current buffer. When you do get used to it,
things like that really make sense to you.
In other words, the fact that you invoked Emacs from some directory
says nothing at all about what will be the value of PWD for some
arbitrary Emacs command.
