In our effort to migrate the profile from next to the exe by default (eg portable profile by default), we migrated to the wrong place: QStandardPaths::AppLocalDataLocation (which is per-application data) rather than QStandardPaths::AppConfigLocation (which is per-user per-applicationdata).
We should update the profile migration logic to silently move from AppLocalData to AppConfig to support platforms where AppLocalData is not writable (cough AppImage)
