Hmm, I see your point. Which is about looking for a logical and consistent
reason to do things.
And a good question here is whether I explained my thoughts well enough.

Actually I believe what drove me to this question the most is that this folder
is so standard on file systems that it's basically always there.
And the idea of consistency between how different file managers on Linux should
handle things. So when one file manager hides it. It could be great if others
do the same thing.

Probably one reason I  notice it so much is because I have multiple drives and
partitions mounted in my system, and all Ext4 or Btrfs files systems do have
this folder.

But NTFS file systems which I share with Windows have folders like
"$RECYCLE.BIN" and "System Volume Information".
Which could already be a reason to think about more situations to filter
things. But Thunar does not filter these away as these have nothing to do with
Linux basically.

Are there defined standards beyond dot files and dot folders which describe
these as that they should be hidden?

Otherwise maybe some custom and user configurable filter list could also do the
job?
