If we had usability testing we would have numbers how many users really
change these settings. Unfortunately we don't have so you could be wrong
or right, and the same for people disagreeing with your view.
(Now does that fall under the "bikeshed" category yet? :P )

If anybody comes up with a better UI in the preferences that makes more
sense I don't see a reason why not to put these options back. 
It's just hard to come up with good names for the tabs sometimes and to
find useful categorizations which options to put into which tab.
