To be fair, a lot of Linux programs dump stuff in $HOME or $HOME/folder
which bothers me too.

Maybe I just install a lot of programs.

Putting config files in $HOME, .config, or .local is pretty much universal
among applications, once you run them. For example:

$  ls .config
a2j            ibus                   patchagerc       sequencer64
alacritty      jack                   pavucontrol.ini  session
autostart      katevirc               personal         tenacity
chromium       kcharselectrc          procps           test.conf
clangd         kdiff3rc               pulse            Thunar
dconf          kmagrc                 qt5ct            tmux
gdb            krulerrc               qt6ct            Trolltech.conf
geeqie         LaborejoSoftwareSuite  qtcurve          umbrellorc
GIMP           libreoffice            qterminal.org    vmpk.sourceforge.net
gnome-session  menus                  QtProject        xfce4
gtk-2.0        mpd                    QtProject.conf   yoshimi
gtk-3.0        ncmpcpp                rncbc.org        zathura
gtk-4.0        nemo                   seq66
guvcview2      obs-studio             seq664x4

A mix of files and mostly subdirectories.
