Even typing

code --user-data-dir "$XDG_DATA_HOME/vscode" --extensions-dir "$XDG_DATA_HOME/vscode/extensions"

A directory appears in $HOME with the following structure:

.vscode
└── argv.json

The file contains

// This configuration file allows you to pass permanent command line arguments to VS Code.
// Only a subset of arguments is currently supported to reduce the likelihood of breaking
// the installation.
//
// PLEASE DO NOT CHANGE WITHOUT UNDERSTANDING THE IMPACT
//
// NOTE: Changing this file requires a restart of VS Code.
{
    // Use software rendering instead of hardware accelerated rendering.
    // This can help in cases where you see rendering issues in VS Code.
    // "disable-hardware-acceleration": true,

    // Enabled by default by VS Code to resolve color issues in the renderer
    // See https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/51791 for details
    "disable-color-correct-rendering": true,

    // Allows to disable crash reporting.
    // Should restart the app if the value is changed.
    "enable-crash-reporter": true,

    // Unique id used for correlating crash reports sent from this instance.
    // Do not edit this value.
    "crash-reporter-id": "687dbf38-06cb-438c-ae8f-d9a2e2e847f7"
}
