After awhile they would all become unusable, and I would reinstall everything back to default and try again. Great for leaning, lousy for day to day work. Resetting things back to a known state can make life lot easier. In 10 years I can’t recall needing to reset a Mac.

Because it does so itself. It is even worse to have lost settings than having windows rot. At least in Windows rot is the problem, not the fix.
