"setup / constants" are not meant to be edited in the extensions paths. So removing that feature at least shows you that these haven't been "best practices".
Instead you simply override or add settings you need in your own TypoScript template, so that you keep the original extension's code as-is, allowing you to later upgrade it without any further troubles.
Thanks for your report and if you have any improvement idea, you are welcome to discuss it within the Usability Team (https://forge.typo3.org/projects/usability).
