I suspect many people using TDE only use TDE and don't experience much outside that walled garden. I have no issue with that, but TDE should be as XDG compliant as practical.
Many people have multi-user computers and have multiple desktop environments installed. My experience is TDE does not play well in such mixed environments. When the day arrives when TDE can be installed in /usr rather than /opt/trinity purgatory, then TDE will be required to be XDG compliant. One way or another TDE needs to recognize and honor files in $HOME/.config/autostart.
IMO the problem is that there is limited development contingent to handle all those issues. I believe it will take time to get there. But the community is free to log requests,issues etc and someone takes care of it.
