For extensions, as I understand it not all the APIs are implemented yet for geckoview. Not my area though so can't provide more details. For about:config, again lots of the preferences don't make sense for geckoview, or can even break it completely.

For you perhaps. But for many users having a working browser is more important. Users don't deliberately break their browsers, yet it happens all of the time. I believe (and I'm speaking for just myself here, not Mozilla) that finding a balance between allowing users to install/tweak many things whilst ensuring a usable browser is better.

Sure we could immediately check if users have any addons or prefs set, and just ignore them if so. But that would let many genuine bugs slip through, not to mention not be very nice to those people.
