If we have a fixed part that's compiled into the executable and a variable part that gets loaded from a folder full of .schematic files, then no-one else needs to modify the sources.
And even if we didn't have the variable part, there's very little reason to modify the sources without sharing the modifications back, which still works well. Remember, it's not that the generator will overwrite the entire file, no. Rather, the generator outputs C++ code that the developer still neds to copy & paste into the actual C++ source file, while adding metadata to it in the process.
