This is an assumption and hopefully no dev ever thinks the same way. Config
files are text files and CAN be edited by anyone. And guess what, they are quite
often edited by hand. You need to think in the big picture. What will your
users do with what you provide?
But nevertheless...

No your's is an assumption and you're guessing.

Off the millions of users, only devs have the patience and knowledge to edit those. Users edit them to workaround bugs.
