You'd want that, but a lot of programs do that, both in Windows and Linux.

e.g. The .directory files with the [Desktop Entry] spec by freedesktop.org
Dolphin has the option to enable/disable the feature

today I learned - using Linux at home since 2005ish and I have never had an auto-file generated on any USB attached drives of mine...

I have manually made .directory files (using a bash script) to set icons on folders.

It feels good when programs let you know what they intend on doing.
