And WHY? What is gained since normal usage does not have the user get near the actual file folders.
Windows users do 'get near the actual file folders" when they create a new library.

The button to the left of the New location field in the Create/switch library dialogue opens File Explorer's folder select dialogue which has a folder tree navigation pane and a "New folder" button.

If the user navigates to an existing library and clicks the New folder button, a new folder is created and they're given the opportunity to rename it, viz:

Add an Empty Book then press 'O' — Et Voila!

Note, the above won't work in Portable as it insists new libraries are created at the top level of the portable install folder… the OP is using Portable.

As to WHY?

If the user has separate libraries because of disparate custom metadata needs they might like to have library specific Intake and Books to edit 'sub' libraries… an obvious place to put them would be within the relevant 'master' libraries.
