Ever heard what 'VirtualHost' is?  You may have many of those on a
single machine and you do not want to drop their corresponding files
into one big haystack.

I have no idea if this is the case with OP but there could be really
good reasons, contrary to what you think, when configurations other
than defaults should/could be used.  These are only _defaults_ for
crying out loud and if something is forcing defaults, or just makes
hard enough to override those, then this something is plain broken
by design.
