The pattern profile = Profile.objects.get(user=user) was useful when user had a ForiegnKey relationship. Since #2749, it has been unnecessary. Switching these to user.profile has some benefits:
In most cases, it reduces the lines of code
It removes a possible mismatch between user.profile and the stand-alone Profile object, which could introduce bugs
In some cases, importing Profile is no longer needed, which will reduce the code changes when moving Profile to privaterelay.
