Well it is needed so users without context must have a chance to get
it. At least there should be a test and a warning if the file is
missing - I doubt that many miktex or texlive users would know what
to do when suddenly confronted with a lua prompt - I do have quite
good nerves but got a bit shocked nevertheless :-). 

I know that two versions of a file at different locations could be
problematic, but as the file in question is only a sort of database
and each format will find its version first I don't think that there
is much danger.
