it makes sense that the inventory variables override others, the specifics

If a play has remote_user = user1, but some hosts have different users, you
would not be able to use them otherwise, with inventory overriding, this is
possible.

I'm proposing we do keep the backups on the ansible control machine in a
configurable location with a number-to-keep.
When I mean remote, I pretty much mean the control machine vs a delegated
host, but that could obviously be a NFS mount.
Discussion on pull requests is a better subject for ansible-devel usually.
All being said, I followed up with a question 3 days ago and it got flagged

Not really.
set_fact mostly allows replacing variables but doesn't have a good facility
for what you speak of.
What you speak of might be dealt with with something like action_plugin
theoretically like "set_hash_entry" that took a hash, a key, and value,
maybe.
It gets a little programmy that way
I think this might be proposing something like a jinja2 filter that merges
one hash with another and returns it.
I'm not aware of this, but some other folks go deeper than me.
I'm not opposed to a filter plugin function being added that does this
being added if that makes sense.

I thought it might be possible to loop over each hash respectively and then
create a new one with all of those.

That in particular, I'd think no.
What I'd really like might look something like
environment: "{{ dict1 | update(dict2) }}"
Anybody done anything like that with stock Jinja2-voodoo magic? If not,
it's about a two liner in filter_plugins/core.py to expose the native hash
update function.
