APPDATA isn't really the same thing. Its intended purpose (which is of course not the same thing as saying that it's the reality!) is to be a data storage area - data, not configuration files - that's private to the app. Eg it's where a mail program like Outlook will store its mailbox data. The actual configuration settings for Outlook, on the other hand, are in the registry.

Does Linux make no distinction between application data files and configuration settings? Forgive the question: my knowledge of Linux is sketchy.
