Why is quite clear, a poorly done installer, in fact I just tested it on a
Windows machine and same result, so is not uncommon.

There could be another demo or even the installer work fine under the right
conditions (ex: USA systems), but it dosen't mean that the issue dosen't happen
or is uncommon to every DoW demo (in fact is a problem widely spread to every
DoW demo).

So keeping it simple:

On windows
Condition: Demo/GraphicConfig fails to start/save, warnings.log file complaints
about missing folders
Proposed fix: Create required folders (GraphicsOptions\Data Engine\Data
Profiles)
Result: Game works flawless

On Linux
Condition: Demo/GraphicConfig fails to start/save, warnings.log file complaints
about missing folders
Proposed fix: Create required directories (mkdir GraphicsOptions/Data
Engine/Data Profiles)
Result: Game works flawless

Pretty straight huh?

And also Codeweavers are aware of this problem:

But in any case, if you still want look futher for a fix, the problem source
comes from the installer, so it should be the place to look, but I'm not
optimistic about finding a fix as if it also happens on Windows...

Thats is why I proposed a wontfix (is behaving the same as on Windows).
