I don't know the causes for music app, but I can say that there are applications
that will fail if U1db is not seeded. Developers have been told this is what
they should be using for settings up until recently and what they should use if
QSettings doesn't fit their needs. Furthermore, it is listed in the frameworks
page[1] as a supported QML API and this has been the case since 13.10. We can't
just drop it.

PS - Personally, I have 2 apps that depend on it. I'd be happy to adjust the
seeds ;)
