> For the love of god, why do I still have programs on Linux that don’t use xdg directories?

Because a lot of devs have never heard of it? I'm a linux app dev of <10 years and I've never heard of xdg until this post. I just assumed dotfiles in the home directory were still the de facto standard...

They are. XDG is one of those grand ideas that a few developers really wished everyone else did... but it isn't actually that important so most of the world doesn't bother or never even hears about it.
