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.
