1) Users want to be able to update site-name (etc) from the admin interface.
2) We therefore need to store it somewhere.
3) We have a database!
The alternatives are:
- Storing in wp-config.php (which is also done...), but then it's not user-editable from the admin interface.
- Storing in a INI or JSON or similar document, which has only marginal if any benefits over storing in the database.
For deployment, since the location of the database values is fixed, you can set the variables with your deployment scripts.
