Emacs is not a shell. I don't mind losing shell history because it's
very repetitive, and long snippets I typically save to my .zshrc or
.profile with a history|tail|head|cut pipeline (which itself I really
ought to make a shell function for) because I know they'll get tromped
if/when I shutdown.

The word "most" should immediately clue you that this is inappropriate
as a default. In particular, I don't use recentf because I have the
files in buffers. The desktop file saves them for me on restart.
That would be a massive annoyance if that got overwritten because I
forgot to use -q on an experimental emacs instance.
