systemswizard··on Ask HN: Why does macOS assume apps can reliably maintain settings files?
Honestly have never had an issue

There’s always going to be a possibility of an issue but if you’re blindly upgrading your OS without checking for support on your third party apps it’s always going to be a problem but you can run into this with any OS…

systemswizard··on Ask HN: Why does macOS assume apps can reliably maintain settings files?
So Apple should reinvent the wheel because you have a lack in trust your third party vendor app working or not through upgrades?

Create a new user and delete the old one. This functionality already exists and doesn’t reinvent the wheel. Likewise Apple shouldn’t be trying to help fix these issues in any sort of way as it will make troubleshooting issues with macOS and app updates harder to diagnose.
