I am well aware of the technical reasons. That does not change it for 
the user. From user POV they are non-editable clutter that you cant even 
trim.

Why couldn't that copy be made for the user on profile creation?

If that is the intent why does the user need to see them at all? Cant 
they be hidden and called "api" brushes? That would have more than one 
benefit.

Having as set of unlisted "api" brushes would be a sane way to do that. 
It would also allow for 3rd party scripts that need very specific 
brushes that are useless for generic use to hide them.
