I think "completly different" here means "not identical". The situation
we're in is one where there is no totally satisfactory solution. We
could amend it the way the OP wants, but then hook functions would stop
working "properly", for example.

They are treated consistently - where there are conflicting sources for a
particular parameter, that of the highest priority takes precedence.
This was all worked out in 2009 in response to bug #3808. (The exchange
in https://debbugs.gnu.org is short enough to be readable.) I really
don't think it a good idea to re-introduce bug #3808 by discarding its
fix.
