That not really true. Most desktop environments will create the directories on session startup but depending on the DE that behavior can be disabled (in xfce for example has a service in the session you can disable). It is true that applications will create these directories if they don't exist. But you can fix this by setting the XDG user directories[0] to something that isn't in your home directory. I set them all to a subdirectory under `~/.xdg-user-dir/`, but you could just as easily set them to `/tmp`. Nothing has recreated ~/Documents on my system in years.
