It's technically not treated differently than other sources of
configuration - or is it?  Is there a difference compared to your init
file, your site file(s), your custom file, your abbrev save file, etc?

I mean, you, the user, explicitly told Emacs to use these settings.  You
can suppress them being used using options, and you can remove them in
the same way you added them.  If you don't like that being a source of
customization, just don't use it, there is redundancy (which is not
wrong).

What I also wanted to add: note that Drew doesn't even use X, so it's no
surprise it's not on his radar.  My situation is not that different.
Many other users might use Xresources.  They might not have an init file
OTOH.  Nothing special here IMO.
