While you are correct that this is the behavior, you seem to be under the
mistaken assumption that because we provide templates, we also provide a
method of overriding those templates.  This is not the case.  Each template
is treated as if it were substituted initially within the specified
context, and hence, overriding may or may not occur.  Especially with the
"has*" type options, we provide no such assurance.

If you believe this decision is in error, you may post a message to the
asterisk-dev list, proposing your change.  This forum is inappropriate to
debate new features.
