> So essentially you recommend to restore factory defaults on Save As

Not really, what I'm saying is that Creation and Modification date/timestamps
are not personally-identifying "User Data", as per my intuition and as seems to
be confirmed by reading these two pages:

https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Videos/Personal_Data_in_LibreOffice
https://help.libreoffice.org/latest/en-GB/text/shared/optionen/01010100.html

Names, addresses, contact information (i.e. things pre-filled globally in the
"Options dialog → LibreOffice → User Data" section), all of those are PII...
but file creation and modification time certainly are not, if the name is not
bundled with them. Imagining the possibility to record merely the date/time
stamps without names, then they should not be affected by the "Apply user data"
setting.

I cannot see a situation where you would not want the Modification date/time to
be saved in the file's metadata, no, especially if the Creation date/time is
there and set in stone forever otherwise, providing a misleading sense of the
document's staleness.
