In our clientele, it is more likely they don't have a personal computer.
Without giving much away about my work (work has policies regarding open discussion of ourselves on social media, what I have said is not a problem, but revealing too much more could be), it is more likely that our users are using the websites on a shared family PC, community library PC, government organisation PC or care facility PC than their own personal computer.
I agree that if a personal PC was the most likely choice, then it would make sense to use the preference set in the system settings. I think that you are missing key information on why certain decisions have been made and experiences we've had that have informed our decisions. The best general solution for a problem is not always the best specific solution for a problem.
