Guess most people back up their databases to known locations, be it
locally or on the server. Willy-nilly creation of folders simply isn't
necessary. I'd say it is even undesirable because it could create a
folder by accident because you mistyped the path and then your important
backup might end up in a folder that you don't have on your radar and so
it would be effectively lost when you need it.

Why would you want to create a new folder from another machine instead
of just backing up to C:\Backups ? Explain your use case if you have a
good one.
