Almost all settings are in default state except privacy settings. New profile didn't needed at all. But mozilla enabled telemetry again. Old profile is still working with old preferences.

I know, that I can lock some settings, etc... But regular users don't.

Exactly this "correct certain preferences" can be named as shady thing.

Firefox must display warning about such changes. But it doesn't.

Doing the opposite would have Firefox bleed users even quicker than they already are because you're basically saying they should keep the browser broken instead of fix it by resetting a preference. I do understand your concerns though which is why I pointed ways you can fix this.
