I would be great to have rclone use $XDG_DATA_HOME/rclone/config, and then $HOME/.rclone.conf as a fallback.

I read from https://specifications.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-latest.html that $XDG_CONFIG_HOME is probably what is required.

$XDG_CONFIG_HOME defines the base directory relative to which user specific configuration files should be stored. If $XDG_CONFIG_HOME is either not set or empty, a default equal to $HOME/.config should be used.

That would fulful the request I've had in the past to get the config file into the .config dir.

Woops, you're absolutely right: I meant $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/rclone/config

Does anyone know what macOS does... Is the XDG convention sensible here?

I don't think it is. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3373948/equivalents-of-xdg-config-home-and-xdg-data-home-on-mac-os-x#5084892
