why not everything kept during upgrade

I was running 6.0.6 version on Ubuntu 18.04.  I downloaded the and installed 6.1.2, like normal.

The recent documents were saved and available to the new version. Yet, the color palettes I had were not placed into the new "share/palette" folder.

I added them - again - to that folder so I can use them again.

So the question is - why not copy the palettes along with the recent document data?  Is there any reason I need to keep the ".config/libreoffice" folder?
