//I was recently having some problems with iTunes, and decided to
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.)//
What exactly does this "Reinstall" feature do, if it doesn't remove
programs and change settings to default?//
Here are answers on-line:-

How would YOU have answered the OP's question?
That article is from 7 years ago.
So? Why does that matter?
Because technology changes rapidly.
This part of macOS has NOT changed at all. How many folk realise that
reinstalling the macOS will NOT eradicate any previously installed malware?
You should remember that the procedure is "wipe and reinstall" not just
"reinstall" when malware is the problem.

But also keep in mind the need for this with macOS is very rare.
