Yes, I am aware that the live session has an Install Ubuntu icon on the desktop. Ubuntu GNOME does not. Fedora worked around this with a simple Welcome app that starts the installer or tells you where to find the installer if you want to close the Welcome app.

I will be proposing that Ubuntu 17.10 install gnome-tweak-tool by default.

Just because many people want desktop icons does not mean that they have to be enabled by default if we provide an easy way for them to be enabled. Because of course there are many people who don't use desktop icons. (It sounds like the Unity8 complaining may have been because it was impossible, not necessarily because of the defaults.)
