Why? I just ignore them.
Google sent a copyright violation notice for each .DS_Store anyone at my company uploaded to Drive for nearly a year (yes, many support tickets were filed). It wasn't Apple's fault, but it still would have been nice if there was a way to turn them off.

Some Playstation 1 were setup to also play the game soundtrack if you put them in an audio CD player.
MechWarrior 2: Mercenaries (for PC) was the same way. Rocking soundtrack. Beautiful game, provided you had a Voodoo 2.
Not to mention that it's an obnoxious and incompetent design. Look at the fact that Mac OS litters every other computer it visits with turds, for its own (and in fact only one user's) benefit. It's doubly stupid because the next browsing Mac that comes along trounces the previous one's turd. If Apple wanted to store view settings for remote volumes (or even local volumes), the competent design would have been to stor…
I will raise you- desktop.ini and thumbnails.db

There are more of this type of offender than I can possibly count that dump myriad dotfiles and dotfolders in your home folder on nixes instead of adhering to platform conventions or XDG or anything, really. Worse, these programs won't function properly if you set your home folder to be read-only (leaving subdirectories writable) to keep it clean. Drives me nuts.
Finder remains one of those apps I still can’t make effective use of. Windows File Explorer for all its warts and changes still “just makes sense” to my brain vs how finder lays things out and expects you to browse. I’ve long since moved to command line or dual pane explorers but it’s something that makes me pause every time I do find myself in Finder for some reason.
I never quite understand why the Finder gets so much hate. Personally I think it’s quite ok. I especially like columns navigation, quite effective for me to get around. It does make me wonder though, how do you feel about System 7.0 Finder?
NeXT/Mac column view are great and should be table stakes in a file manager in my opinion.

Why? Somehow DS_Store is claimed as a copyrighted file?
When is someone going to copyright .gitignore? You could register gitignore.me right now! Fame, riches, lunch with Myhrvold[1][2]!
