then append the path component "Preferences" to the result.

But this assumes that preferences will always be stored in a folder named "Preferences".
Is this official Apple policy?

If we were to change things we'd have to continue providing binary compatibility some way or another. But, in most cases it probably doesn't really matter --- Even if Apple stopped its own preferences there, it is still a reasonable place for folks using it for their own preferences. Note that the top-level, more user visible folder, "Library", can be changed with this technique. Also, as you probably already know, because localization is handled at a higher level, the user visible name of "Preferences" can still be localized and have this code continue to work.
