Comment:

 Seems like this would need a ton of work to maintain backwards
 compatibility with developers expecting the settings in the database, most
 probably some are even making direct SQL queries. Since there are pros of
 cons to either method (database vs. files), there's no ''need'' to change
 this in core right now.

 Instead, there are plugins that can do something like this just fine. See
 https://github.com/danielbachhuber/dictator for example.
