While the above is correct for rpm, SELinux does have business in
protecting $HOME. Just run ls -lZ in your home directory and see
for yourself. For example, ~/public_html has httpd_user_content_t
context, ~/bin has home_bin_t, ~/.config has config_home_t, etc.

In this particular case, ~/.cache has cache_home_t context, so the
application needs a policy update to have write access to that
context. You should be able to create a policy semi-automatically
using audit2allow when running in permissive mode.
