I'm not sure about the "most". I'm guessing you more often deal with
common _system administration_ (mature) tools - which often are as you
described - as opposed to just wild stuff for the desktop.
Or it could be a distribution thing - they may be the ones who place a
fully commented config file for common tools.
Let's put it this way: For most of the config files that sit in my
_home_ directory, they didn't come with a config file with all the
options - although many do have a sample one in /etc that has _common_
options...
