  I do a similar thing, but put most of these things on the SD card,
instead of in Internal Storage.

  I don't use something like 'appdata', because app data should go in
Android\data.

  There's no 'pollution'. This is standard stuff in standard folders.

  There might be some *duplication* with same-name folders in Internal
Storage, but that's probably mainly because you've - temporarily - used
the device without a SD card - so this stuff had to go in IS - or/and
some of the duplication/pollution comes from older Android versions
or/and non-compliant apps or/and the default storage location being
changed.

  No.
