Having a freedesktop standard for this sounds like a good idea, however
this specific thing doesn't seem right:

"$XDG_DATA_HOME defines the base directory relative to which user
specific data files should be stored. If $XDG_DATA_HOME is either not
set or empty, a default equal to $HOME/.local/share should be used."
