Dist needs to always exist a fallback, you copy and remove the dist from the copy

kinda stupid that for modules the .dist is read and for the server configs it's not
reading the config values already requires setting a default value anyways, there's no need for 2 default values

The reasoning is simple. Upon updating, the .dist might be changed. Without a .conf, all your settings would be overwritten. By making a copy and removing the .dist from said copy, you always have those settings.

that is the reason the .dist exists, that is not the reason the .dist is read

What if a new default is added? Then unless you copy over or merge your config with the dist file, your server will fail to launch after an update.
