I am not exactly sure what a "clean" install has anything to do with
the default conf. The use case is just to have it set to working paths
when a user installs KiCad. So it was tested by not having a clean
conf to see if it kept the paths and then close kicad, remove the
conf, and start kicad (pcbnew) to verify that the paths were changed.
