My unix does not follow XDG[0], neither of these are set and the XDG "fallbacks" are utter garbage, now what?

[0] hell, only a minority of linux distros do at all

[jhasse]

Why are the fallbacks (~/.config and ~/.cache) utter garbage?

[thristian]

How can a unix follow or not follow XDG? It's an application level concern, not a distro or kernel level one.

[steveklabnik]

Distros distribute application packages. If those packages follow XDG or not, I would say the distro does or doesn't.
