I just want to keep tract of potential changes to the public and private file system. This is important because for a long time users have encountered problems with theme generated files, perhaps because the public files dir was not existing or has the wrong permissions etc. In ATD8 I have strongly considered doing checks and warning users of these issues but this is a broader issue for Drupal core:

#1106160: Color module uses the public file system but doesn't check if it is set

Very old issue, we can close it, in short AT no longer cares about this and just doesn't use the public file system stream wrapper anymore.
