Yes. Because I work in many places on many machines. Which is different that how you work. So I need different solutions. I don't think like you. So I need different solutions.

set preferences after taking a look around for new ones etc

The FileSaverDialogue uses the same components to do the same job of moving around the file tree if you need to do that. 

Whilst in the bigger picture the entire preferences system needs rewriting, right now we don't have time. I've offered a small improvement  to a tool you claim not to use. If people don't like it, it won't be in the release.
