I have an alert for these files through WordPress Central on 6 sites hosted with 1and1.
No alerts on sites that are not hosted with them which makes me think it is absolutley down to them.
I did a fresh click and build installation through IONOS and all of those files are present immediately after installation.
This seems to clarify they are nothing to be concerned about.
I did look through the files and have not found anything malicious in there..
