I never open programs from the desk top (except, on occasion, after first installing). I use the start menu (it's not THAT complicated if I can use it) or the quick launch menu. If an installer puts one on the desktop I either delete it, drag it to the trash, or, if it's one I'll use frequently, I'll add to the quick launch menu first (like I did with calibre). Even though I would prefer a choice, it's just not that big a deal.
The analogy I picture, instead of someone coming into your private office and hanging pictures on your walls (that would be rude!), is more like you inviting someone to come into your office and, on the way out, they drop a business card on your desk. After all, you installed the original program and, especially if you use a good firewall, you can determine when and if the program installs updates.
