The concept of a system-wide hierarchical key-value store is actually very useful is some environments.
I had to develop one some time ago [1] for an embedded system, since is super useful to have a single point of truth/configuration/state, if every application agrees on using it (which is the case in such systems were every application is known in advance and developed in house)[1] https://github.com/debevv/camellia
