._ file in another OS
It's a pain to browse through a mac-accessed directory from another OS and have to scroll through tons of ._filename files that do what exactly?
Will apple allow Mac user to disable it?

I don’t think you can disable it.
The .DS_Store files are created by the Finder and used to store the view settings for each folder.
What you can do is create a little script that deletes those files from a certain volume or folder tree.
Here is a very simple one-line Terminal command. Mind you, it nevertheless may take a while to run if the volume or folder has a lot of files and/or subfolders.
find /Volumes/MyVolume -name .DS_Store -exec rm {} \;
Just replace MyVolume by the name of the drive, or type “find “ then drag your drive or folder onto the terminal window and copy and paste the rest (it is all a single line). Press enter, wait for the prompt to appear, then eject your drive.
