No literate person would write "I'm going to My Garage to get My Toolbox and My Hammer and My Saw and My Nails to work on My Project" because one doesn't capitalise nouns except proper nouns, which aren't used in that example (only exception is academic context, such as Science/Mathematics Department or Class/Course, but not when talking about science/mathematics or classes/courses in non-academic context). However, this ungrammatical style is sadly what most user interfaces do, including XDG-specified! I don't know that's because most copied early versions of Windows and/or similar software on UNIX that had program groups with capitalised names despite being similar to garages & toolboxes and not being academic subjects. It's also wrong in standard/classic menus such as 'File Edit View Help' though as those capital letters get underlined, may improve their readability.
The title-style capitalization is appropriate. It's uniquely English, and many translations address casing locale-specifically.
