Hi,
Preferences normally refer to something a user specifies, specific to their
user account.
Configuration is something a deployer specifies for others via a GUI or a
file.

While I agree the line is blurred as the deployer of Sling/AEM could be
considered to be a user, they are not a user in the sense of the AEM
application. Preferences might cause lots of confusion.
Best Regards
Ian
