"it is not the paradigm there that all your system settings and config are stored in text files."

This is inherently untrue. A .plist in XML is nothing but text. It might be formatted text, but it is still text nonetheless, like almost every other configuration file in existence.

Technically correct but you miss the point. Human readable text (like TOML). Nobody wants to edit XML .plist files to configure their OS and apps.
