Perhaps the bug is this: that you need to install a whole other RPM
just to make a directory exist so you can put a file in it.

Why can't the RPM providing the file just make the directory and not
have a dependency at all?

As long your package doesn't need the package providing the directory for normal functionality, there's no reason not to have your package own that directory[1].  Packages that provide unit files, but are otherwise useful in the absence of systemd would probably fall into this category.
