You mean, this is why that kind of software should use a .programX directory. Evidently many don't. And of you think about doing it, just move it into .config for good measure...

Crap like wget just keeps shoving files directly into my home instead. When they added hsts support they had the chance to finally create a directory, ideally in .config, so if they need to add even more files in the future they wouldn't have to clutter $HOME even more. But no, that would be too forward-thinking. Just put the hsts file in home and be done.
