Comment (by swissspidy):

 @Chrystl That is currently the expected behavior, with `.mo` files
 remaining the source of truth as there are many places in core and plugins
 that expect `.mo` files to exist. `.l10n.php` is sort of the more
 performant variant that takes precedence if it's available.

 I was planning on iterating on that in a future release. That said, I see
 how it can be confusing. Given that we already made some related i18n
 changes in  #58919 anyway, it might be best to address this already in
 6.5. I'll take another look at this!
