I consider RFC 8808 an extension that people may implement if their
systems do what RFC 8808 describes, namely that the running datastore
is bootstrapped from a factory default datastore. (Of course, a system
with an empty running datastore after a factory reset may claim to be
bootstrapped from an empty factory default datastore.)

In other words, I think the answer to "What exactly is the content of
the running datastore when it comes from the factory?" is that it is
empty. On first boot, on a system implementing RFC 8808, it would be
loaded with the content of the factory default datastore and on
systems not implementing RFC 8808 it would most likely remain empty.
