That raw data is not useful for general users. Most computer users
don't even know what a browser is. All important data like bookmarks
and settings are already synced to the cloud.

Photos have nothing to do with digiKam. They existed before digiKam
and will be added after it is installed. There is a vast difference
between user photos and links created the system.

How an administrator wants to do things is his prerogative? In my
university, probably standards for any American university, is to
delete any personal data after a user logs off. You can't run
executables. You can't save anything on the library, or cafeteria or
computer lab's computer for that matter.
