Why are file managers not using top-dir trash dirs?

I'm making a FUSE filesystem with fusepy and I want to give a special meaning to deletion. I'd like to intercept moves to trash too. For this I would like file managers to use the trash dirs at the root/mount point of my filesystem (
.Trash/$uid
or .Trash-$uid
) rather than the user ones (~/.local/share/Trash
).
I'm referring to the Freedesktop Trash specification .
I've tried 3 file managers:
* PCManFM-Qt uses the top-dir trash dir ;
* PCManFM tells me the filesystem doesn't support Trash and offers a hard delete ;
* Dolphin creates the top-dir trash dir if it doesn't exist but then uses the user one.
Can I convince all file managers to use .Trash/$uid
/ .Trash-$uid
?
