That is a fight not worth fighting. Even Microsoft does not give a care in the world when deciding on storage locations and they put files directly in your %USERPROFILE% folder. Often also naming them like Linux/Unix dotfiles. I have opened tickets, pointing them to Microsoft documentation clearly stating that this is not how it should be, but they just don't care.
Still, it is infuriating seeing so much willful ignorance, when choosing the correct location is a decision just as quick as choosing the wrong location.
