Can you account for all your ~/.??* entries in your home dir? I have
several of which I have no clue what it is or why it got there, and
I have 25 years of homedir experience.

So I don't think your "User explicitly installed SW into his home
directory" is true, and it is especially not true if software can
make use of knowing ~/.bin will be there for it to quietly drop some
things in.
