This is one of those mistakes many devs (even professional ones) make: they write to a config file as soon as the user moves a slider, turns mouse wheel on a combo/spin box, types in a line-edit, etc. Yes, most users may have SSD, but it isn't logical with SSD either, while it's a disaster with HDD.

I fixed it in places where I encountered it, but there are still more instances. For example, see lxqt/lxqt#2635 (reply in thread)
