Let me clarify.

If you do not use latex-preview or other features that cache their
results, org-persist should not create any files or directories.
(It currently does create gc-lock.eld, but I will fix this)

However, if you do use it, Org mode has no option to disable creating
cache.  In fact, Org mode never had such an option. For example,
`org-preview-latex-image-directory' is a part of Org mode since at least
Org 9.0, and it was never an option to disable it. org-persist did not
introduce anything drastically new in this regard.

So, this discussion and people insisting on completely disabling the
cache is a bit strange to me. I suspect that the problem may be not the
cache itself, but either (1) that it is created when cache features are
not really used; (2) that it is created in .emacs.d for some users.
