At least on Linux they do yes. But this is cross platform. A Normal total number of dotfiles on a windows system is about 0 or 1.

This is not true. Open your user folder and there will be tons of dotfiles. If you use git with ssh or Rust (.cargo) or C# (.nuget) and many other tools. In fact, even .config is started to show up now.

I guess devs are tired of %APPDATA% ?

Yes, I have 2 (nuget and git). But I obviously have many more text based configuration files than those. They just happen to have a name with a dot.
