Where do you store where the application-specific KV stores are located? Are you just going to hard-code it so the application cannot be moved or installed elsewhere or on external drives? Where does the OS store its own settings?
There are a lot of problems with software "shotgunning" their junk across the system. This isn't exclusive to the Registry or even a specific OS unfortunately. Just go look at what configuration files are located between applications on Linux for example, it is not consistent at all.
