This is like me saying that it is more productive to work using pen and paper because it is not prone to electric failures in thunderstorms.
It is right under a certain low probability event that I myself can define and you cannot refute it.
Are you trying to gaslight/troll us now? Separate user accounts is precisely the mechanism of having your own configuration on a multiuser system. Log out of Hacker News right now (or open in a private window or whatever), and then tell us how to "easily" configure showdead/noprocrast/topcolor etc without an account. How do I sit down at my Mac or BSD or Linux machine and have everything the way I want with no logging in?

It is because you guys are entirely logged into a very small subset of systems.
You are apparently also not able to separate the different concerns of authentication and identification.
You could easily envision a system where you can ID without any auth.
You being narrow minded is not me gaslighting.
