Sure, admins backup, export, import settings all the time, [Export and import site settings](https://meta.discourse.org/t/export-and-import-site-settings/148184) .

But what about the little guy, the end user?

Certainly the preferences I use on site A, I probably also want to use on site B, or even C.

Plus what if a site goes kaboom? Sure would like to have a backup of my Preferences.

And one should find such functionality right there in the standard app, and not have to hunt around for some third party version.

Hmm seems you can even have some central sync authority..
