az artifacts universal download wastes time re-downloading different versions of Universal Packages tooling

Describe the bug

Command Name az artifacts universal download Extension Name: azure-devops. Version: 0.25.0.

Errors:

To Reproduce:

Steps to reproduce the behavior. Note that argument values have been redacted, as they may contain sensitive information.

• az artifacts universal download --organization a --feed {} --name {} --version {} --path {} --scope {} --project {}
• az artifacts universal download --organization b --feed {} --name {} --version {} --path {} --scope {} --project {}
• az artifacts universal download --organization a --feed {} --name {} --version {} --path {} --scope {} --project {}
• az artifacts universal download --organization b --feed {} --name {} --version {} --path {} --scope {} --project {}

Expected Behavior

I expected the commands to spend most of the time downloading the artifacts. Instead, they spend most of their time re-downloading "Universal Packages tooling" as the two organizations apparently require different versions and 'az artifacts' only caches one locally. I see both ArtifactTool_win10-x64_0.2.231 and ArtifactTool_win10-x64_0.2.236 repeatedly downloaded.
