The point is to return a fully qualified path, which cannot be the case if `relativeTo` is `null` and we need to use it.
The comment may not apply to newer versions of .NET.
Relative-rooted paths such as: .\foo.psm1 ..\foo.psm1 and home-rooted paths such as: ~\foo.psm1 are now fully resolved via $executionContext.SessionState.Path.GetResolvedProviderPathFromPSPath() instead of joining them with the working directory first, because GetResolvedProviderPathFromPSPath() already joins relative paths with the working directory as needed. Before this commit, ~\foo.psm1 was resolved to $pwd\~\foo.psm1. After this commit, ~\foo.psm1 correctly resolves to $HOME\foo.psm1. A path like .\~\foo.psm1 still resolves to $pwd\~\foo.psm1.
