SAP_USER Profile doesn't overwrite customizing or application data in Target client.

When copying, you can use copy profiles that simplify selection and combination of the objects to be copied. The customizing and application data is deleted in the target client before copying for all profiles except SAP_USER. This is technically unavoidable.

Excerpts from SAP note 24853
: This applies to all data except for the user master data i.e. in the case of a copy with SAP_USER (or SAP_USR) only users and authorization profiles are overwritten.
: User master data is only deleted in the target system if a profile is copied with user master data

“Also, remember that all client copies are destructive and will delete all data before copying in the new data. The only exception is when the SAP_USER profile is used. In this case, only user master data is deleted from the target client before the new user master data is copied. ***”
