When you start the launcher it creates it files and folders in the same directory in which it is in. For example when I start the launcher on the desktop, it creates there its files.

Regarding the launcher creating files and folders in the same directory: As far as I know the old .exe launcher did the same, see MCL-3343
Edit: Currently a custom JRE can only be set when you enable "Advanced settings". Therefor suggesting to use a custom JRE when you start the launcher for the first time for all users is maybe not what the developers intend. But I can confirm that the launcher still downloads the JRE even if all profiles use a different one.
Intended. That way it can always find it's files (regardless of architecture, current user etc.)
Well but this is probably the worst way of doing it...
No one wants to have a program which "spams" your desktop.
Mojang should really consider saving this data maybe also in the %appdata% folder as desktop files can only be accessed by the current user and not other users like it is with the %appdata% folder
Are you sure this is intended or is it work in progress?
Kumasasa, are you sure?
Yes.
Ok I understood why, sorry that I took so long, I just guessed that the Minecraft.exe would work on the Desktop and didn't expect that I have to create shortcut
