$ pwd

Seems to me if the default database was
     ~/.config/dconf/user
There should have been some complaining

I am reading
     $ man 7 dconf

and I am not making out how to tell dconf to read
     ~/.config/dconf/user

And idea what I am missing?

It dumps *everything*, including defaults and global settings.  The stuff in user is an override.
See /etc/dconf/profile/user

That matches "man 7 dconf" and explains it:

$ cat /etc/dconf/profile/user
user-db:user
system-db:local
system-db:site
system-db:distro

How do I do a dump of only "~/.config/dconf/user"?
