I may indeed reappear somewhere.
As I stated in my last message and the commits, we now have the
following:

1. For emacs -Q, the folder, if created, is removed upon closing Emacs
   It may still stay if you do something like kill -9 (I can't do much
   about this scenario).
   Note that this situation is rather unlikely scenario. You need to do
   something manually with emacs -Q.
2. For normal emacs usage, the folder is created only when it is needed
   If you set org-element-cache-persistent to nil, Org may still use
   org-persist for other purposes, like LaTeX previews or caching remote
   images during export.
3. As I suggested in my other message, if you don't like (2), set
   `org-persist-directory' to the location that does not bother you.

   Alternatively, you can use
   https://github.com/emacscollective/no-littering that will organize
   .emacs.d closer to XDG schema.
