Do PC gamers change PCs a lot? Because I'm a PC gamer and I don't.

So this isn't really a onedrive problem, but rather game creators saving things in places they shouldn't problem? It's been a long time since appdata became a thing.
MS defaults your profile to onedrive in Windows now... Game creators are saving it to the users profile (best practice) and MS be doing them dirty.
How else can you drive metrics for increasing shareholder value than shady Implementations that they don't really advertise. Then you can feed their ML training needs with real world data.
No, they don't default to the entire profile.
They default to what is called "known folders", which is things like the documents, pictures, desktop and and other folders (in effect, the bunch of folders that default show in the left side navigation in Explorer)
The Appdata folder is not included, and that is where these save files and configs belong, and not saving there, and using the documents folder instead, is old and lazyness by the debs.
I don't actually store any documents in the "Documents" folder, and it's so obviously a dumping ground for lazy devs.
