Description
On Hyper 3.2.3, config is not read from ~/.config/hyper/.hyper.js. In fact, it is also not read from ~/Library/Application\ Support/Hyper/.hyper.js, and when hyper is started up, a new ~/.hyper.js is generated with the default settings.

Research direction
Start by tracing how Hyper resolves its configuration on macOS, using the paths named in the issue: ~/.config/hyper/.hyper.js, ~/Library/Application Support/Hyper/.hyper.js, and ~/.hyper.js. Done means the intended XDG or macOS configuration is read instead of generating and using only the default home-directory file.
