Please study /etc/X11/Xsession.d/50x11-common_determine-startup
If I understand it correctly, ~/.xsession may be used as a fall back
script, and does normally not apply if you start the session from e.g.
lightdm or GDM. The $STARTUP variable gets set in
/etc/X11/Xsession.d/20x11-common_process-arg
I don't follow the reason for closing this... It seems like maybe you're
thinking I said this bug is all wrong, but it's not. The point is that
instead of *sourcing* $HOME/.xsession, the Xsession system script should
*exec* it if it exists, completely bypassing the rest of the system

Now it sounds as if you are mostly talking about the use of ~/.profile.
But sure, the lack of cross-distro standards is sad. That's true for
other things but config files, btw.

To me it looks like lightdm does the right thing in /usr/sbin/lightdm-
session.
According to the files in /etc/X11/Xsession.d, which belong to
x11-common, the intended behavior seems to be to not source ~/.xsession.
