Sure, FB can imagine a use case for each particular vector in that humongous config space, but it would be MUCH more user friendly to have the “five suboptions” settable at the account level, with all sublevels inheriting those options unless the user intentionally indicates otherwise. The usability gurus wouldn’t be totally satisfied with such a solution for FB, but they’d certainly see it as an improvement from now.
