Adding new systemd service, for example just requires me to put a file into `/etc/systemd/system`.
Many other applications work like this as well: Apache configs, /etc/sudoers.d on Debian, more examples in `/etc/?.d`
It's generally a good practice to make your system open for extension but closed to modifications [1].
There is no reason, the user database can not work the same way. Just have the system scan `/etc/passwd.d/*` on boot/reload and drop files there.
