The .d directories make management via tools such as ansible much much easier.
You don't have weird file patching going on with the potential to mess things up in super creative ways if someone has applied a hand edit.
With .d directories you have a file, you drop in that file, you manage that file, if that file changes then you change it back.
I love that you can use validate: sshd -T -f %s To check if changes would break things.
