But there is nothing related in those two statements. It would be equally true if you put your customizations in differently named files under /etc/httpd/conf.d and in directories under /var/www/html. The difference is that anyone familiar with the standard layout could look at a system and understand it quickly where your non-standard locations would have to be carefully documented and a new admin would need to waste time figuring it out.

We do not willingly add anything to /etc/httpd/conf.d or to /var/www/html. Our chosen operating system does not require it.
"Does not require"?
I dunno. My current job, and the last two - that goes back to '06 - *all* did minimal changes to /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf, and put *everything* else in /etc/httpd/conf.d, including ssl.conf. IIRC, in fact, the package install puts proxy_agp.conf there.
Also, it makes things a *lot* cleaner to have website1.conf, website2.conf, etc in conf.d, rather than in one huge httpd.conf.
