It's annoying for backing up directories or sharing directories between systems...

  Then they would be external and the above solution would work?

    No... Use case is taking a copy (via say tar) of a directory hierarchy on a MacOS drive, and copying that to another system (Linux), and untarring... then you've got all the .DS_store files everywhere... Not the end of the world, but annoying...

      find . -type f -name .DS_Store -delete

        I tend to do rm **/.DS_Store . I know it’s slow when there are lots of files, but it is still quicker than opening a man page or Stack Overflow to figure out what the hell the syntax is to do it with find.

          Is that a meme like with `tar`?
