Why does nautilus create folders in my home directory by default?

Nautilus has nothing to do with creating the folders (unless you count
the fact that the nautilus maintainer also wrote xdg-user-dirs, which is
responsible for the creation of the directories).

If you don't like the directories, simply remove them. They won't come
back. If you want to change their names, look in
~/.config/user-dirs.dirs.
