you're right in your assumption that there are 'defaults'
the actual configuration contains a lot of hidden settings that are default, and are not populated in the user-readable config file unless changed (this also causes artefacts when a default value is changed and later reverted)
when you use cli commands to set a configuration, you only give basic parameters necessary for your purposes, but in the GUI the popup/menu/object item contains all of the available fields. clicking OK populates all fields, even if the values are unchanged, but essentially you push a change into the configuration, populating all available fields for an object rather than only the ones you want to change
