May be user could define an environment variable such as Output that is the path to the folder that should be created and all generated files should be put inside it, instead of cluttering the directory with tex file.

That would be great, but LaTeX throws fits when you try to put things into subdirectories. Believe me, it was one of the first things I tried to do. It turns out to be remarkably complex to get right, especially with automatic file-finding and dependency creation. :-P
