That's a weird place.  As a user, I never really need to look into
/tmp or grab files from there.

Home directory?  Or simply the current working directory?  Just
about everything in the Unix world defaults to writing to the cwd.
That is a bit at odds with invoking tog in a worktree, but is it a
good idea to diverge from such a fundamental convention?  IIRC,
git-format-patch also dumps its output into the cwd, so typically
the worktree/repository, for whatever that is worth.
