I dont see it as a big blunder if you compare it to the situation before.
he biggest problem is that not everybody is using the registry as where it
was ment for.
It provides you general and personal settings for apps/system/etc. complete
with permissions avbout who/what is allowed to add/modify/read/remove/etc a
specific item.

That's correct. In fact, the windows registry consists of 4 files.
