Until the 'imply' keyword comes in to Kconfig we're left with a few
different ugly options in order to avoid having to make the defconfig
files themselves unwieldy.  A 'default y' does not make it impossible to
disable the feature, but changing the default here potentially easier
than setting it to N in the various k2 defconfig files, for example.
