Maybe your system did, I don't get any such file even running
programs that I know dump out errors, but I'm using TinyX. Oh and
a system running Xorg 21 doesn't have it either. Anyway it's easy
to run programs from a terminal window for troubleshooting and
a log would fill up my storage space with junk messages, so I'm not
interested in enabling that.

I find journalctl unclean in all the most important respects, but
you're welcome to it.
