It was probably done to avoid conflicts in the case of a multi-homed IdP,
but that's just me speculating.

Creating a new connector as a copy is quite trivial so it doesn't really
matter that much what any specific one does if there's a particular
deployment need to do something different, unless we're talking about
existing values already propagated.

You also have to remember that until very recently, that was essentially
viewed as "do not use" code, so I doubt a lot of attention was paid to its
design in V2 when it was ported.
