This is necessary specifically for tvOS because of the heroics needed to keep the retroarch.cfg file alive even when the OS deletes everything else. We copy the retroarch.cfg file into the persistent storage area, and then if it is ever deleted, we restore it. However, if the user really does want to reset to a default config, there's no way of doing that.
Also tvOS doesn't provide a way of manually deleting the retroarch.cfg file other then when the app is running, as the file system isn't accessible (unlike on iOS where the Files.app can delete it).
