I agree, I think it should move to /usr/lib/sysimage/authselect instead.
That would break the use case of running it on an image based (i.e. readonly /usr) system
*client side*.
We settled on having it in /etc in
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2034360
because that works symmetrically across both. It's also keeps the backups closer to
the original files (e.g. they're more likely to be on the same file so reflinks could
be used). I think these authselect backups are really similar to e.g. `.rpmnew/.rpmorig`
and similar.
