Burn Bootloader Arduino Leonardo programmer is not responding

Development Tools Uploading
1

I am trying to build a steering wheel with arduino to play games. In the tutorial I found, I have to burn the bootloader to an Arduino Leonardo. The Code I use is Exaples/arduinoISP. Board and port are correctly choosen. The programmer I use is AVR ISP and the device I use for the communication between computer and arduino is this. I am on a windows 10 pc and use Arduino IDE version 1.8.18. For the ISP device I have the following settings in the device manager:
bits per second: 9600
databits: 8
parity: none
stop bits: 1
Flowcontrol: none
(I don't know if these are the correct translations)

The Errormessage I recieve is:

avrdude done. Thank you.

Error while burning bootloader.

This report would have more information with
"Show verbose output during compilation"
option enabled in File -> Preferences.

The Leonardo comes with the/its bootloader already.
I doubt any are sold without it.

Together this doesn't make sense.

First: why do you have to burn a bootloader to an Arduino Leonardo, they are delivered with a working bootloader. Do you have to change that bootloader? If yes, why?

Second: why would you use the arduinoISP example if you have a hardware programmer? That software is made so an Arduino can play the programmer role (with just one hardware modification).

Third: I'm not running Windows but I'm surprised that you have to make settings in the device manager. I don't see any reason for doing such.

Fourth: Is COM9 the interface of the Arduino or of the AVR-ISP clone? I guess it's the Arduino Leonardo, but that doesn't know the programmer protocol.
