To get rid of the clutter.
This, intentionally or not, deals a blow to choice.
Think of it this way: keeping all those dotfiles in the root of $HOME is
not just clutter, it’s also a potential privacy risk. It lets other users
on the system see the kinds of apps you run, and perhaps even when you
last ran them.
It would literally take just a dot per file to retain that
compatibility.
Putting files beginning with “.” inside directories beginning with “.” is
kind of ... stupid, don’t you think? The initial “.” is supposed to denote
“don’t normally show this file/dir”. It was a hack to reduce clutter.
