Why not ConditionPathExists?

ConditionPathExists will fail the unit, I want systemd to retry. If the unit happens to get scheduled before we have placed this file, it would just mark it as failed. The ExecStartPre matches the rest of the services dependencies. See https://github.com/bottlerocket-os/bottlerocket-core-kit/blob/develop/packages/nvidia-k8s-device-plugin/nvidia-k8s-device-plugin.service for the other pre conditions.
