I don't follow youo.

I quite like this scheme. When you have a configuration file
like /etc/foo.conf which contains
# bar="some value"
you have to take on trust, or check, that bar="some value" is
the default configured, or set elsewhere, for foo. OTOH, when
you copy /lib/systemd/system/... to /etc, you know you've got
hold of the default configuration. IOW, it's self-documenting.
