That's not actually correct. Macros and keybinds are always stored locally. They may also be stored on the server, if you have those features enabled. If you log in with no local macro/keybind settings in your WTF/Account/<AccountName> folder, and you do have sync enabled for those items, your client will download the ones you had saved on the server. If you log in with completely different macro/keybind settings, however, your client will not overwrite them with the ones from the server; instead, it will overwrite the server copies with the new local copies.

Even if a compilation does not include copies of the local macro/keybind settings files, you can't guarantee that the user has server sync turned on.
