I guess I considered it a bug, because `system-move-file-to-trash` is
used by Emacs for Windows to put files in the correct location. If Emacs
can cater to Windows, surely it can cater to another very largely used
OS? Emacs putting files in ~/.local on OSX just makes it appear that it
doesn’t know what it is doing.

Thank you all the same.
