This concept is older than Linux, sysv-init, /etc/sysconfig, the LSB and the FHS. I.e. editing init scripts had been part of standard proceedures to run a system. Since introduction of /etc/sysconfig this role has gradually lost importance, but even nowadays, there still can exist situations where resorting to it is hardly avoidable.
