But is the working directory ever used in emacs?
It is used implicitly each time you invoke a program without leading
directories in the executable name, or give a program arguments that
are relative file names.
But is not default-directory used then to set the working directory
for the subprocess?

No.

But if I try

  M-x shell

or if I use something like

   (setq default-directory "c:/")
   (start-process "TEST" "TEST buffer" "cmd.exe")

it looks to me like default-directory was used. But maybe you mean other cases?
