But those Elisp files are not operational anymore, the installed ones are. So it is to them one will want to go to know about some Elisp function or so from a runtime Emacs (say from the help, most often).

It isn't consistent but also not inconsistent, it is the best two options for two languages, and they are different because the languages are different, not the least in the way they are used. -- underground experts united https://dataswamp.org/~incal
