Why are there already some Users when first creating a database? (SQL Server 2017, SSMS 17.9)
With Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio, either executing SQL Commands (e.g. CREATE DATABASE XYZ) or through GUI to create a fresh-new database, the database ends up with some default Users (see picture below), e.g. dbo, current domain user, guest, sys.
Is this the default behavior of SQL Server? Is there anyway to control this behavior? (e.g. not including the current domain user, who is using the computer with SSMS; or having to include some users)
Another strange thing is in the list of users, one can see tester222, which I created for testing long time ago, and this name is no longer there in "SQL Server InstanceSecurityLogins" in Object Explorer. How could it just now surface in the list?

Users != Logins. Logins are at the server level (ServerSecurityLogins), users are at the database level (Databases<DB>SecurityUsers). Users are tied to a specific login. You can delete a login, and not the user; so you'd see the user in the database, but it would be orphaned and not belonging to a login.

New databases are created based the model database. See example below:
Model Database in SQL Server 2017
If changing, say, the list of default users in this model database, every new database when created will inherit that list of user.
From Microsoft:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/relational-databases/databases/model-database?view=sql-server-2017
The model database is used as the template for all databases created
on an instance of SQL Server. Because tempdb is created every time SQL
Server is started, the model database must always exist on a SQL
Server system. The entire contents of the model database, including
database options, are copied to the new database. Some of the settings
of model are also used for creating a new tempdb during start up, so
the model database must always exist on a SQL Server system.
