Because keys, values, and key/value pairs in the Pd preferences are themselves
simple:
keys: ascii string containing no spaces
values: number, numbers separated by whitespace, ascii string with no
whitespace, and file paths.
Finally, the key/value pairs in Pd preferences are simple enough that there isn't a
need to nest key/value pairs inside other key/value pairs.
You would spend more time figuring out how to parse the XML tags in
C than you would parsing the actual data contained in them.

What problem does that solve which a simple format doesn't solve?
