Because it corresponds to the source code better, I would imagine.
Also, the makefiles are already gargantuan for the kernel, there's
zero motivation to make it worse. Kernel configuration, no matter how

without knowing what you're doing and reading the documentation as you
go. You can *seriously* hose a system that way.
