Why aren’t all of these just normal directories under either .local (for data files) or .config (for configuration)???
Actually, I think the XDG directories should be under a single XDG directory either dotted or not (a better name would be OK with me) ~/xdg/Documents, ~/xdg/Music, ~/xdg/Pictures etc.

That’s the beauty: XDG compliant applications are entirely configurable using standardized environment variables.
Documents, Music, etc actually are configurable. Just edit
~/.config/user-dirs.dirs
