Two reasons mainly, the files are probably there but either not in the right spot or enabled. Some Kodi specific settings are in the guisettings file. This file gets dumped whenever Kodi restarts, so it really can't be updated while running. The addon will make a guisettings.xml.restore file that you can copy over manually on your file system. The addon also makes an attempt to update settings via JSON-RPC if it can. Two reasons mainly, the files are probably there but either not in the right spot or enabled.

For addons the files are probably available, just not enabled. Kodi loads up addons in the folder not installed by itself in a disabled mode. You'll have to re-enable them from scratch. Kind of a pain but in order to remain in the Kodi repo this addon can't alter the state of other addons. It's one of the rules! For addons the files are probably available, just not enabled.

6. Can I exclude an entire directory EXCEPT for specific folders? (Advanced Editor)
Yes. This is somewhat non-intuitive at first glance. By default the root directory is included in the backup set, along with all files and folders within. Remove this included folder from the set. At this point you have a set with no folders selected. Then, do specific includes only for the folders you want.
7. Why can't I exclude the root folder? (Advanced Editor)
You can. See the above example. Removing the root folder from the include path effectively removes it, and all sub folders, from being backed up. Exclusions really only apply to folders beneath an already included folder.
