But if this is in a config file for an individual app or piece of software, I’d assume it would be importing the default, system-wide settings in some capacity. Even if it wasn’t a default setting in the config, being able to add modifiers to otherwise default settings isn’t the same thing as burying a setting under several layers of menus.

It can be shipped with a default mode of “this is how we intend this software to be set up and used”, and then the 500 page manual for “customize at your own risk”.

It just seems like there are several steps between “all the options” and “no options”. And changing cursor speed, for example, could be an accessibility thing. Needing to be slower/less sensitive for a sliding bar in a specific gui menu, but can be normal speed for the rest of the system.

Or if I want to change the colors of different windows. Whether for organization purposes, or to fit a theme, or whatever. I just thing getting to play around with and customize some of that stuff is neat, so it’s nice to hear the other side of why that customization wouldnt be allowed, even if I’m still unconvinced in this instance.

I am in a position to see first hand people regularly dropping ~$4000USD on “mid-range” PCs. It hasn’t slowed down purchasing of PCs, if anything it is speeding up compared to this time last year.

Not that I would want that feature, but what’s a good reason against it? I don’t see it hurting anything by being able to customize that, and if someone wants to why is that a problem? It seems a weird hill to die on is all
