I share your opinion. But there is a gauge. I hate that every application is polluting my $HOME. The use of the XDG stuff would care about and put the stuff to common places. It was absolutely OK for applications to write to $HOME direct in past days where only few shared there life in the users $HOME but today that ended in a nightmare. To have it sorted in special paths would help me to, for example, do a "rm -rf $HOME/.cache" to cleanup all the unneeded caching data. Moreover it can be easily linked to a memory file system like tmpfs. And as you mention the thumbnails should go to $HOME/.thumbnails/* or to a .thumbnails directory in the local dir. (I like it to have the thumbnails with the pictures in the same directory.)
