I don't think there is anything special about ~/Applications. The problem
with putting the Tor Browser app there is that it won't be visible when
someone accesses the /Applications folder from the Mac OS dock. So it
might be hard for people to find TB after they install it.
If someone cannot install in /Applications, won't Mac OS tell them that?
Then they can choose to install elsewhere. But maybe that is too
confusing.
Although Tor Browser is a weird beast (because it writes to its app
bundle), I suspect that /Applications works fine for most people. But
then again I thought ~/Desktop was a great choice.
