It is not okay for some application to store files in My Documents folder. If it's not MY document then it doesn't belong in My Documents.

The user folder exists for a reason. Drop your crap in there.

It hasn't been "My Documents" since Windows XP. It's just "Documents" now, so if we're taking the name literally, then any document can go there.

To be pedantic, My Documents still exists as shortcuts in the user folder.
