Yes, Craig, you are right,

C:\Users\klaus\AppData\LocalLow\Adobe\Linguistics\UserDictionaries\FMUserDictionary\a
ll\added.txt
collects learned words from all languages and all FM versions (12 upwards) i have 
installed. Although there are subdirectories for all languages FM supports, they stay 
empty, since all learned words are collected in 'language' all.
These files however are not used for the thesaurus, but for hyphenation and spell 
checking.
C:\Users\klaus\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Linguistics\... obviously contain dictionaries of 
older (<=11) FM versions. Therein I find only the languages all, brt, eng, grm and 
sgr.
Thesauri are only found in the linguistic dictionaries of the FM-installation, for 
example:
...\AdobeFrameMaker2015\fminit\Linguistics\7.0\Providers\Proximity\11.00\brt55.ths or 
...\Adobe FrameMaker 2019\fminit\Linguistics\7.0\Providers\Proximity\11.00\brt55.ths
Which btw have the exactly same length, just another date...

So the question remains: why can FM-15 not find the thesaurus for English? (and some 
other languages).
