Of course are performance tweaks are more important then anything.
Preferences are after all just preferences, some give a damn and others like them.

They could include in the menu a preference tab but they could not afford to not create an option tab in the menu as options are for performance tweaking, preferences are just personal taste and in most cases unlikely to influence much performance.
Most games I know don't have a preference tab. Is it necessary? Of course not. Would it be bad if it would exist? Not as long content in it can be ignored as some might even think they are guilty to express a preference.

Not every idea would need to be put into such a tab but could be embedded into the game code as sliders are often just one way to handle an idea.
Larian is mature enough to decide themselves if, what and how they might adapt expressed ideas and preferences which people can express in their forum.
If Larian gives a damn about any feedback in the forum then they would be quite meaningless except being a place for pointless pingpong discussions about personal tastes if they not listen or worse, becomming a breeding ground for flames or trolling.

Ideals are like stars. We might never reach them. But we can set our course by them.
