For me, the goal of the templates by default is to help discover the template feature and its benefits to users, and the way to do that would be to show interesting usecases of the template feature. Having two templates for the same usecase but with different layout is not aligned with this goal, but would be more aligned with the goal of showing that we can do different fancy layouts. In addition, this logic would allow to have multiple templates for the other usecases as well, with different layout, which would not be a good idea (e.g. another meeting report, with a different layout) because would bloat the list...
