No.  It is not cross-platform.

Could you elaborate on this? As far as I know, there is no true cross-platform standard on where to install user-specific files. Installing to ~/.local as per the XDG standard doesn't violate any existing standards, but does follow the standards which many Unix desktop software is already following. Installing to ~/.local doesn't break anything.

Besides, installing to ~/.local makes the user's home folder less messy.
