Seeing bureaucracy explode like with the last diagram is rarely a good sign. As if I needed even more reasons to not "upgrade" to macOS 26.

Since those app bundle folders are merely the symptoms, this question isn't that unreasonable.

Nope, it is. This is a shallow question with no understanding behind why the additional folders were added, which was to bring a lot of functionality that used to litter your entire computer into a place where it is tied to the app that installed it. So the complaint is like looking at a trash can in the park and going “ew this garbage is ugly the park is going downhill” when the reality before that can existed was people threw the litter all over the park.
