It's nginx. It makes it straightforward to see what configuration applies
to a specific request.
Copy-paste isn't the only way to create the config file.

If it matters, could you explain?
(It may not matter, of course.)
You can use the nginx directive "include" to refer to another file, as
you do here; or you could use your macro-processing language of choice
to turn your preferred input format into the desired nginx.conf.

If you use
include shared_headers.conf;
at server level, then you only need to repeat it in locations where you
want different headers added.

So you wouldn't need it there, for example.
