Note that IDLE.app sets the current working directory to ~/Documents to have a sane working directory (and hence sane behavior in file dialogs), by default app bundles on macOS are launched with the root directory as the current working directory. 

For "python3 -m idlelib" it is not really necessary to change the working directory, and changing it might confuse users that also use IDLE on other platforms.
