Templates to me means distributing them in a usable fashion, and all templates should be able to be used via invoking some binary and providing inputs/flags.

I am wondering why nobody talks about using version control tools for templates. Git lacks the ability to replace variables and handle flags, but it allows to rebase a small micro service on top of the latest version of the template.

These are version controlled. We use semver and they are released using the languages package manager :)
And how do you update a project started with template x version 1.2.3 to template 1.3.4?
