ServiceConfig is intended to be extended to provide some basic data storage facilities. This class represents the basic properties of a web service.
Data Transfer object are used to communicate between the GeoServer application and its configuration and persistent layers. As such the class is final - to allow for its future use as an on-the-wire message.
It is very tempting to force Web Services to completely define their own DTO elements (rather than trying for reuse using subclassing or aggregation) - simply to force each service to document what it means by each of these peices of information.
