Kovid has also coded the use of the CALIBRE_CONFIG_DIRECTORY environment variable so that you ould specify wher the config parameters should be read from for this run of Calibre, so that can be used instead of using two different accounts.

The point is that Calibre does not have a GUI based method of simultaneously switching both user preferences and databases.

Since these are user preferences rather than library specific it makes sense for them to be store separately to the actual library database.
