I also fail to see how this change (making the name less correct) help user
realize that some styles (that user expects to be present in the template) are
missing in it? IIUC, OP didn't misunderstand the function, only didn't know
that some standard styles may be missing and generated from defaults.

As we discovered (see comment 3, comment 4, comment 5), the problem is not with
some special Marginalia processing, but in the specific content of Default
template. If you load the styles *from it*, Marginalia is not reset (i.e., it
will be different from what a new document gets when created from that
template), and there's nothing user-visible to indicate that Marginalia is not
in the Default, hence the issue.
