Me neither. The more I dwell on it, the grumpier I’m getting. Distro hopping is a young man’s sport. I’ve got work to do.
Thankfully, I learned the hard way a long time ago that my files are almost entirely on a secondary drive and my home folders are all simply symlinks to folders there, so I won’t lose any data since that drive won’t be wiped. But it’s just such a pain in the butt to set up everything the way I like it.
Gnome has a Save Desktop app which backs up your desktop config, list of Flatpak apps, and the folders you choose. I use Bazzite but I’m not locked in.

That would require that I use Gnome. Which would be worse than reinstalling everything.
I like to have a separate partition for /home Whatever happens I can wipe root safely and install something else.
I used to bother doing all of that too. I just found symlinking achieved the same results without a bunch of manually configuring of mount points.
