Calibre portable is just annoying with the creation of that library folder which is hardcoded for no apparent reason (at least I don#t understand it). Calibre install can handle it so why does calibre portable not do the same?

Such a simple request.
Because Portable was intended to be truly self contained portable.
You choose (along with others) to use it to work around the 1 version INSTALLED limits. OTOH Portable does not prevent switching to an external (to portable) Library, once started. It just won't remember to start with it current.
