 > We all have different ways to use WP. For a site that is a community, it
 doesn't make sense for logged in users with no capabilities to have to see
 the admin bar. But users should still be able to choose it, if they need
 it.

 Exactly. The people who can benefit the most from removing the toolbar are
 users who have lower access levels/permissions, especially if login/logout
 links are included on the page. So installing a plugin to re-affirm their
 previous decision to uncheck the box would add an unnecessary burden both
 on those users and on the admins who receive their complaints.

 With Gutenberg's fullscreen mode, the editor hides the toolbar (and side
 menu) there. If that was considered so much better for user experience
 that fullscreen was made default, surely some people will find value in
 choosing to hide the toolbar when viewing their site(s).

 I do think the option should have less prominence. In fact, probably all
 of the profile page's personal options belong after the account details
 (or in a side column or maybe in a separate tab). The most fitting ticket
 for that discussion could be #37934.

 I recommend closing this ticket as "won't fix" and keeping this one option
 in a list of options.
