Excellent question, and no, I'm not sure.
If you can tell me how to determine the
answer, please do.

What I can say is that

1) XDG_DATA_HOME is set in /etc/profile.d on
Arch Linux, the first script that runs
from that folder. The same script sets all
the other XDG vars too.

2) To my knowledge this arrangement works
fine in every other respect. All the apps,
and Arch as well, use XDG vars as intended.
In other words, systemd is the ONLY thing
that (creates, and then,) uses ~/.local.
