Yeah but chrome devs half-assing the trivial xdg spec doesn't mean that xdg sucks - its just not implemented properly.

I think xdg has an issue of being obtuse when I googled it a while ago, it was very confusing, and I didn't find any real definitions. However I didn't look that hard.

Freedesktop standards are nothing if not overly complicated and confusing.

I agree, you didn't look very hard.
