I've always found such files useful for the user who wishes to
change the default configuration. This may be more visible than
the man page.

BTW, this file also provides documentation that is not present
in the man page:

# udevd is also started in the initrd.  When this file is modified you might
# also want to rebuild the initrd, so that it will include the modified configuration.

while there's nothing about initrd in the udev.conf(5) man page.
