Is there a reason or they just like to be differenet?

g-ir-scanner is failing, not udev:

/usr/lib/gobject-introspection/giscanner/cachestore.py:
    cachedir = os.path.join(homedir, '.cache')

I do not understand why since the code appears to check if the directory
exists, but I will leave figuring this out to somebody who does not
despise python.
