Is it relevant in any way?
I'm sure Debian can boot without MEMORY_HOTREMOVE, or BRIDGE, or NUMA_BALANCING, or BPF_JIT, or NFS_FS, yet all of them are enabled. Let me know if you want hundreds more examples.

Just like 9P_FS, NFS or UBIFS.

It's a defconfig. It's whatever people want it to be. Or we need to come up with a clearly defined set of rules of what is acceptable in that defconfig or not, and prune every option that isn't.
