As expected.

You need to customize that variable to point to the directory where
you want your trash. The doc string says:
Directory for `move-file-to-trash' to move files and directories to.
This directory is only used when the function `system-move-file-to-trash'
is not defined.
Relative paths are interpreted relative to `default-directory'.
If the value is nil, Emacs uses a freedesktop.org-style trashcan.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The default is nil, so what you see is Emacs functioning as designed.
