Nah it should be $HOME, not everyone's home directory is in the default location.

Nah you should use xdg dirs, it's 2025.
Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but as shown in your link,
$HOMEdoes not conflict with the XDG Base Directory Specification. It partially relies on$HOMEbeing defined.Subdirs of
$HOMEare used as defaults. So using$HOMEalone is not enough. Also, prior to xdg dirs, applications were (many still are) storing their data under$HOME/.myapplication/.
