Yes, it is by design that LO 5 keeps using ~/.config/libreoffice/4.
This time, there were no technical reasons to not keep using any
existing user directory, so we decided to simply avoid any problems
inherent in the otherwise necessary automatic migration from a
libreoffice/4 to a libreoffice/5 directory.  (Even if the unfortunate
libreoffice/4 name can now confuse users.)

Seems like a better option would have been to just rename the directory?

Could have had its own set of subtle downsides.  Keep it simple.
