Painful isn't it. Regrettably those of us who started developing right at the start were encouraged to create App IDs, long before it became clear they weren't very useful. Add the mess of being able to entitle some App IDs for some things and not others (depending on whether they are wildcards or not) and you end up with a load of complication.
The bottom line is that Xcode will create a managed by Xcode provisioning profile for every App ID you have and there's nothing you can do to prevent it. I managed to find a time where the dev portal was allowing me to delete unused App IDs and removed as many as I could, after first deleting their provisioning profiles so there were no references to them. Doing that I got back to about as good state as I'm ever going to.
I've really lost the plot with provisioning these days, I used to vaguely understand how it worked, now Xcode manages it, Team ID is the primary driver and there's a panel on each app config saying what facilities you want which then goes out and automagically creates them, I'm totally lost.

If you look at them in the developer portal, they’re all marked as “managed by Xcode”.

After I get them all deleted, I go back into Xcode and do a refresh, figuring that Xcode will realize that I don’t want quite so many profiles and do some cleaning up on my computer.
