Mono implemented registry support because it is a matter of fact that there are .net applications out there using it. By implementing registry support, application vendors which want to make their applications available on Linux can do it more easily since they don't have to create their own portable settings management library.
It is also a matter of fact that .NET applications are not forced to use the registry in order to store applications settings, as the comment that triggered this whole discussion misleadingly implied. Applications written for .NET 2.0 can take advantage of the app settings support provided by the new api. I've never seen an application written with Mono that makes use of the registry.
