That's more than a little disingenuous, don't you think?

While the files that meet the canonical definition of "preference" in 
macOS might live in those locations, it is trivial to note that there is

...not to mention what is found in "Application Support" folder...

in both "com.<company>..." format...

...and folders within that folder.
