If you want to copy maps from an existing project open in one instance of Pro there is no destination 'Maps' group to paste them into in another instance of Pro with an empty Project.

Copy source:

!Destination:

Please keep the Maps group visible in new projects.

I know there are import tools etc but what is faster than a quick  Copy>Paste?

Thank you @RTPL_AU - this idea is now Open again.  Just a note here that, the reason that we do not show empty project containers is to reduce clutter - ArcGIS Pro can have many project containers (currently around 20); a number of them are not relevant for all users, or not relevant for all of their projects. 

We will include this idea to our list of things to improve in ArcGIS Pro.  Thank you very much for your feedback.

NaicongLi Thank you.

Maybe Esri should invest in upgrading their efficiency metrics to include 'Clicks to accomplish a task' and weight it with the metrics of how often said task is used. 
I would hazard a guess that Locators, Styles, or even Toolboxes are used much less than Maps.
Be open about the results - My opinions are just that but I have a deep interest in the design process.

Better yet - Add it to Options so we can pick what we want in a default environment. 
This may cause a side quest to declutter Options 🙂
