So, what aren't the "default" statements in the layout files for? Aren't
those supposed to tell LyX what the defaults are for each texclass so
that there is no need to "discover" them?

I prefer to do it like this because it provides feedback to the user
about what the defaults of the texclass are. It wouldn't be necessary if
all the default values defined in the layout file were visible under the
menu Layout --> Document, but they are not, only a few of them.
