I’m such a Mac user that I don’t even get it. I am simultaneously laughing at myself and embarrassed.

    MacOS create these directories to store metadata. But because it starts with a dot, you don’t normally see it.

    Depending on how you interact with your computer, and when you started being a Mac user, I’m not surprised.

    Starting at macOS 10.12 16A238m, Finder will not display .DS_Store files (even if you ran defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles YES in Terminal to show hidden system files).
