Sorry for the quick reply (without reading it completely).
The document you refer to does address by question on how to augment/extend the configuration of the system unit file.
Thanks,

Except that the systemd file comes from the postgresql10-server RPM produced by the PostgreSQL community.
I was trying to figure out how the PostgreSQL systemd service file authors intended users to configure a different
data directory than the default.

Am I missing something, or is the configuration of the systemd unit file an oversight?
That's not really a question related to PostgreSQL, but to systemd, and how to
"override" (parts of) your systems' unit files.
Since you appear to be on EL7, you best check out the docs your distro
provides on the matter:
https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/7/html/system_administrators_guide/sect-managing_services_with_systemd-unit_files#sect-Managing_Services_with_systemd-Unit_File_Modify
(Spoiler alert: All systemd-using distros are pretty much the same in these
regards, which is one of the benefits of converging towards this service
manager in the GNU/Linux ecosystem.)
Hth.
