I'm not sure :) It does have some impact, e.g. because creating a new layer will use this crs (if it's done before any other layers are added). I suspect this is one of those settings which has been around for so long that it just no longer has any real meaning. Maybe it's a relic from before OTF was introduced? The options I can see are: 1. Remove the setting, always start new projects in EPSG:4326, and then switch to match the crs of the first loaded layer 2. Remove the "set project crs to match first loaded layer crs" feature, and always start new projects in the crs defined by that setting. Loading layers doesn't change the crs. We need to proceed with caution here. For reference, I'd be a hesitant +1 to option 2.
