Several do, e.g. LibreOffice, TextEdit... they just hide it. The equivalent of having a backup-directory-alist configured to put it all inside ~/.emacs.d.
Interestingly, Emacs Prelude places it in /tmp, and Doom Emacs disables backups [1], but in case the user re-enables them, it actually hashes the backup filenames to make them shorter [2] but I don't like it since I rename files a lot and the hashed names destroy my ability to find backups under an old name.
