It absolutely does, and it absolutely works. I was having the exact same problem as the OP after upgrading to Ubuntu 20.04. My solution "fixed" it, in that it loaded my ~/.vimrc after the other plugins were loaded, thus allowing my ~/.vimrc to override the defaults, as intended.

In any case... Your answer is not totally clear on what you're trying to accomplish here. I can see (now?) that you're trying to load vimrc last in the startup process, after all plug-ins. Your answer doesn't really state that, it would help if you started by explaining that... Also, while strace is nice and all, answering "which directory is last" is pretty easy, just looking at :set rtp? you'll see that ~/.vim/after is last. But, as mentioned before, this doesn't really work since fo will be reset by ft plugins and that's really the issue here.

1) Your (whole) vimrc is not really supposed to run on the context of a plugin. 2) Something like adding a one-line ~/.vim/after/plugin/formatoptions.vim with set fo-=o is more palatable... But that still doesn't work when a filetype plug-in overrides that. For example, open Vim (with no file, or an unrelated file), then use :e to open or create a *.vim file. You'll see that formatoptions has o in it again, since that's being set for that buffer by ftplugin/vim.vim and your after/plugin file won't be able to override it.

Because it actually gets vim to honor the options in the .vimrc file. Please re-read, and make sure that you understand, both the question and the my answer.
