 What actually is the benefit of doing this? Why does xdg need the shell
have the PATH env include this - if xdg wants to use a fixed path - then
should it not use a fixed path and not require specific PATH environment
anyway?

 There seem to be 2 issues here which are being mixed up it seems to me ...

   (i) merits of putting binaries in a .local/bin area for xdg
convenience (or whatever)

  (ii) need to have that same area be in the default PATH.

 (i) does not imply (ii) at all.

 So I vote to remove it from the default shell path.
