Comment (by netweb):

 I stand by what I wrote in comment:5, the primary purpose of the
 `wp_admin_bar_my_account_menu()` function is to add "My Account" items to
 the admin bar which are the ''user profile'' links, first the user profile
 [https://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/src/wp-includes/admin-
 bar.php#L291 #L291], and then, if it is not multisite
 [https://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/src/wp-includes/admin-
 bar.php#L266 #L266] the "Edit My Profile" link is added.

 [attachment:43633.2.diff] changes multisite behaviour by changing the
 first link to link to a users post archive rather than the current link to
 the dashboard [https://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/src/wp-
 includes/admin-bar.php#L267 #L267], this is currently used I expect due to
 all of the multisite blog/site/network juggling complexities that are
 required to retrieve any user related content in multisite environments.

 Also adding a filter as proposed in [attachment:43633.2.diff] puts the
 onus on developers to opt-out of a what is a breaking change being
 introduced into WordPress and these types of change should be avoided.
