reinstall macOS Sierra. I held Command+R on startup and clicked on
"Reinstall macOS" without erasing the hard drive in Disk Utility. Once
the reinstall was complete, I started back up and all of my files and
programs were still there, along with my settings, desktop wallpaper,
and everything else. (The iTunes problems were fixed.)//

How would YOU have answered the OP's question?

If you had any idea how an OS / filesystem / preferences work you could answer it for yourself.
If you owned a computer and were doing something like re-installing the OS for a specific reason then found an online forum and posted to it asking such a question, you would sound like a vegetarian asking if cauliflower is vegan.
So you have a computer, have reinstalled the OS and found it doesn't delete your personal files and are asking why it didn't also delete something you believe to be malware?

Please confirm that that is the exact reply you would have posted in response to the person who originally asked the question.
