Hi, because a binary blob as config for many apps is far away from a UNIX alike kiss principle. A human readable individual config for each app is the far better approach, at least for those who customize their Linux or BSD installs. Take a look at $ gsettings list-schemas | sort dconf is kind of a $HOME in $HOME, just that users have to use the dconf and gsettings command, that even don't share the same syntax for the paths. For gsettings it's org.gnome.evolution.addressbook and for dconf it's /org/gnome/evolution/addressbook/, so when using scripts you need to care (not only) about this. That's all very well for those who migrated from Windows to Linux or BSD, but those of us who are native UNIX/POSIX system alike users are used to the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KISS_principle , since we decided against the restricted approach, for a strategy that allows easy customization. Too funny and it's not a coincidence that that the OP asked for something similar to "about:config", a lot of users are already used to bad designed software making things far to complicated and/or restricted.
