Feels like you’re just selectively defining “community” to exclude XDG. Maybe there’s a good reason, but you haven’t really described it.

Whoever defined $HOME as a place to stick configuration files was also “just some group.”

Freedesktop (new name for XDG) is not the community. They are some people with a bad reputation when it comes to software quality and maintenance.
