I am the only user of my computers. I expect programs I install to appear on my
desktop. On multi-user desktops, I'd expect them to appear on the desktops of whoever
installed them. Other users can right-click on their desktop, select Create Launcher and
select the programs they want. I don't expect users to know how to create a launcher
in a text editor.
Developers don't develop for "you". The develop for all end users, plural.
What you expect, and what is reality are vastly different. And just not the way things
work. Aside from "flatpak", and other
per user application methods, applications are installed via dnf. That installation
process is a "system" process and not
per user. So, there is no "whoever installed them" question.
I hope you're not advocating that as part of a dnf install of an application that a
desktop file is placed in every user's
Desktop directory. Otherwise a clean install of Xfce with user creation would end up
looking like this.
