On the MS Windows installer takes care of that by copying demo Location

this enough? If not why? And do we want to do something similar for
cases when installation is not done by GRASS GIS? If startup detects no
grassdata it could just create the dir and copy the demo Location there,
so the only thing needed is to press Start button.

Don't forget that in many GNU/Linux distributions data is separated from applications in the packaging. So, either we have to tell users to install a specific data package (e.g. grass-demodata) or the startup screen needs a button: "Download and unpack demo data".
