I haven't looked at the installer as I am using 4.7, but I assumed (perhaps incorrectly) that there would be help text in it. Something along the lines of "Drupal can create some useful directories for you. The Files directory is required while the Themes and Modules directories are only needed if you have multiple sites and would like different themes and modules on each site. You can change the location of these directories by clicking the [change] link. If you are unsure what to do, leave them at the defaults and continue." I suggest files be defaulted to create and the other two default to unchecked. I was a beginner just a year ago and I remember it well. Something like this would have saved me a lot of headaches.

I don't know what the "sites/all thing" is, but I like having all my site specific themes, modules, and files under sites/domain/. What I would like to see in an installer is a series of checkboxes:

[ ] Create files directory at sites/domain/files [change] [ ] Create themes directory at sites/domain/themes [change] [ ] Create modules directory at sites/domain/modules [change]

I think that gives the user the most flexibility.

Try to think of you as a Drupal beginner. Do you understand what these options mean? Why are you presented with these options in the first place?
