That’s because these environment variables NEED NOT be set
because they have default values (which may or may not be
sensible).

In MirBSD we just explicitly deviate from the defaults:

XDG_CACHE_HOME=$HOME/.etc/xdg/cache
XDG_CONFIG_HOME=$HOME/.etc/xdg/config
XDG_DATA_HOME=$HOME/.etc/xdg/data
export XDG_CACHE_HOME XDG_CONFIG_HOME XDG_DATA_HOME

That’s from /etc/profile. Everyone can put something into
their ~/.profile (or similar) to deviate even more. The
default values are:

They default to:

XDG_DATA_HOME=$HOME/.local/share
XDG_CONFIG_HOME=$HOME/.config
XDG_CACHE_HOME=$HOME/.cache

There is explicitly no need to set them to be useful, an
application using XDG basedirs MUST use these default values
if unset and MUST honour the environment variables instead
when set.
