Does this explanation add to clarity of my initially short phrase?

I think so, yes.   I think it's fine to have an option in the config file that specifies a default route, or routes in general.   Putting a lifetime on that, I think, is impractical.   If the administrator wants a short lifetime on these routes, they should be setting a short lifetime on the addresses offered by the DHCP server, so that renewals come often enough to meet this need.
