Ask the BSD folks who originally designed mkstemps? In reality, though, I seldom see directory names where an extension is important, but with regular files, there are quite a few programs that depend on the name of the extension. Thus, creating a temporary file with a known extension is more common than a temporary directory with a known extension.
