Why would you have to tweak it every install? Isn't the whole point of separating the configuration from the application's data so that you can move it around?

Moving in a configuration is tweaking it. And then you're on a machine that is STIGed or is on a standalone network or you're helping someone do something on their account. The end result is you end up back in the default mode a lot so you might as well learn it.
