Unfortunately. I really wish $HOME was reserved for files I create myself. I know. I can create my own shit for that. But, I really wish every single random project I download to fuck around with didn’t drop a config directory or file in there. ITS MY HOME.
I mean, having config files in there makes a lot of sense. It allows you to move your home to some other machine/install and immediately feel at home, because everything is configured to your liking.
Now, the fact that many apps create their own directory instead of putting their stuff in ~/.config is pretty annoying.

Also for multi user systems it’s handy that each user gets their own configs
