I think defcustom is fine for configuration data.  Configuration data
doesn't change a lot, and people like to put it into Git, etc.

Application session state is a different beast, and is something that
Emacs has lacked a convenient interface for, so each package has come up
with its own way to store state, or more commonly -- not bothered,
because it's so much (boring) work.
