> You are arguing against perhaps the most dominant notion of config best practices in the modern era

I don’t know that it’s “dominant”, nor that it’s good merely because it’s “from the modern era”. But even if all that is true, 12 factor apps constitute a small subset of configurable software that is deployed worldwide, and hardly a silver bullet for all kinds of software (it even defines itself as a methodology specific to SaaS applications).
